The law will enter into force in 90 days.
The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, signed a bipartisan bill banning the import of Russian uranium .
The president’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, called the law historic. According to him, this will strengthen the energy and economic security of the States, reducing and ultimately eliminating dependence on Russia in the field of civil nuclear energy.
“The new law restores America’s leadership in the nuclear sector. It will help ensure the security of our energy sector for generations to come. And thanks to the unprecedented $2.72 billion in federal funding recently provided by Congress at the request of the President, it will enable new enrichment facilities in the US and will make it clear to the industry that we are committed to the long-term growth of our nuclear sector,” he added.
The ban on the import of uranium in the Russian Federation: what is known
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the United States did not impose a ban on the import of Russian uranium. The media wrote that these deliveries are critically important for American nuclear power plants.
In early March of this year, the Senate voted for a bipartisan draft of the corresponding law. Imports will be prohibited 90 days after its approval. It would provide benefits until 2028 to utilities that are forced to shut down nuclear reactors after supplies are cut off.

From Robert Lansing Institute. On the subject of uranium.
We also believe Orbán is keen on the missions in Chad due to the access to uranium deposits. That might be connected to the Budapest nuclear power project, carried out by Russia. Paks Nuclear Power Plant is one of the reasons why Budapest has not joined the sanctions on Rosatom. That way, Hungary is most likely assisting Russia in infiltrating Chad to take control of uranium deposits and restrict access for French business. This goes in line with the Kremlin’s plans to squeeze France out of Africa. Hungary is taking part in this influence operation in a subversive effort that targets other EU and NATO nations. Hungary is going to send some 200 troops to Chad, while rejecting and blocking military aid to Ukraine. That makes the Orbán regime even more likely to act in Kremlin’s favor. Gaspar Orbán visited not only Chad in 2024, but also Niger that also features uranium deposits, where Russia-backed military junta is holding the power.
Tried to post this earlier today but it didn’t seem to come through.
One more try now. Sorry if this results in double posting.
