President Joe Biden has signed a bipartisan bill banning the import of Russian enriched uranium into the United States. The legislation, known as the 'Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act,' aims to cut off one of the last significant flows of money from the U.S. to Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. The ban will take effect 90 days after the law's enactment, with waivers allowing reactor operators to continue importing until 2028 if they lack viable alternatives. This move is part of a broader effort by Washington to reduce dependency on Russian nuclear fuel, which currently supplies roughly 25% of U.S. enriched uranium. The U.S. Department of Energy announced that the ban will officially begin on August 11, 2024. The legislation also unlocks $2.72 billion to boost the U.S. domestic uranium industry. Wyoming’s energy workers are expected to power American reactors with domestic nuclear fuel. Sen. John Barrasso stated, 'Putin's war machine has now lost one of its cash cows.' American companies were roughly paying $1 billion annually for Russian uranium. Russia has criticized the ban, warning it could harm the global market and asserting that it will accelerate its own projects in other countries.
A ban on the import of Russian uranium will be phased in beginning in August, following U.S. President Joe Biden's signing of bipartisan legislation. https://t.co/46msAdz4LT
