The Biden administration is considering banning imports of enriched Russian uranium using executive authority as congressional efforts to block the Kremlin’s shipments of the reactor fuel stall, people familiar with the matter said.
To be sure, no decisions have been made on the issue and the administration — and the nuclear industry — still prefer the matter to be handled by Congress because undoing a law is harder than overturning actions done using executive power, the people said. Because of procedural rules, the next best potential legislative vehicle to attach the uranium ban in the Senate to is must-pass legislation needed to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration, which is slated for the Senate floor this week. But Senator Maria Cantwell, a Washington Democrat who chairs the Senate transportation committee with jurisdiction over the bill, said earlier a uranium ban was unlikely to be attached to the legislation.
The White House, which has said the creation of a domestic nuclear fuel enrichment supply chain is a national security priority, has previously called for a long-term ban to be coupled with the billions of dollars now approved by Congress for domestic enrichment capabilities.
