Effect of Statutory Prohibition on Uranium Imports From the Russian Federation

Короткий зміст

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a notice explaining how recently enacted legislation that prohibits imports of certain uranium products (natural uranium and low-enriched uranium) from the Russian Federation affects imports under NRC licenses. After the statutory prohibition becomes effective, importers will no longer be able to use the NRC general license to import these materials from the Russian Federation unless they first obtain a waiver from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The NRC will return any specific license applications for such imports without action.
