Legislation that would bar the import of unirradiated low-enriched Russian uranium into the US is scheduled to be voted on in the US House of Representatives.

The Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act, by Washington Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, has been scheduled for consideration next week under an expedited procedure that requires two-thirds majority to pass, according to the House schedule.

Support for a ban on the import of nuclear reactor fuel from Russia is growing among both Democrats and Republicans following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. House passage of a standalone bill would set up the opportunity pass the same legislation in the Senate.
