The US Department of Energy will begin purchasing nuclear fuel from national companies in June
The United States Department of Energy has named a replacement for nuclear fuel from Russia. How TBC According to the agency’s notice, the United States will purchase fuel from domestic producers. Procurement will begin in June this year and will amount to up to $3.4 billion.
It is noted that the American authorities will invite suppliers to participate in bidding on contracts for fuel for nuclear reactors. The US Department of Energy notice was published a few days after President Joe Biden signed a law banning the import of Russian uranium.
Earlier, the head of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, said that the law banning the import of Russian uranium to the United States would not cause any problems. He also called the law theoretical, since the current wording provides for many loopholes.
