Congress obligates the United States to purchase domestic nuclear fuel

The provision of nuclear fuel is part of a broader plan to restore the US domestic uranium supply chain and gradually reduce dependence on the Russian Federation.

States would be required to buy domestic fuel for nuclear reactors under a provision of a bill passed by Congress. Bloomberg reported this.

It is known that the document, approved earlier this week by the Senate, was voted on in the House of Representatives on December 15. It must be signed by President Joe Biden.

The nuclear fuel provision is part of a broader plan to restore the US domestic uranium supply chain and gradually reduce dependence on the Russian Federation, America’s largest foreign supplier of uranium.

The approved plans would require the Energy Department to buy at least 20 tons per year of reactor fuel, known as HALEU, from US companies until the end of 2027.

However, billions of dollars in funding for these efforts have stalled in the Senate after Republicans blocked a Ukraine aid bill that would have provided those funds.

At the same time, a bill passed by the House of Representatives banning all Russian uranium imports after 2028 is pending in the Senate.

Earlier, the media wrote that the Administration of US President Joe Biden has developed a plan to buy enriched uranium from local producers for $4.3 billion, which will allow us to abandon Russian nuclear fuel.

It was also reported that Slovakia has entered into an agreement with the Swiss branch of the American company Westinghouse on the supply of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants, and the country is also looking for another source in France. This will allow Slovakia to eliminate its dependence on fuel from Russia.
