Abstract

Russia has announced a temporary restriction on exports of enriched uranium to the US, potentially impacting utilities that rely on nuclear power for a significant portion of the country's electricity. The move targets the US's vulnerability in the nuclear fuel cycle, as Russia controls a large portion of the world's capacity for uranium enrichment. While the Biden administration is working to restart domestic uranium enrichment capabilities, the US currently has limited capacity, leading to concerns about future supply. The restriction is in response to a US ban on imports of Russian enriched uranium, with waivers allowing for continued shipments until 2028. [Extracted from the article]
