US President Joe Biden’s decision to declare uranium mining lands in US Arizona a national monument will harm America and help Russia. This was stated by Republican Senator from Wyoming John Barrasso.
“President Biden is blocking access to key deposits of US uranium and other important minerals. Now is not the time to cut off access to American resources. We import three times more uranium from Russia than we produce, ”RIA Novosti quotes Senator Barrasso.
Barasso stressed that the US Senate had called for an increase in domestic uranium production. This is necessary to exclude dependence on Russia.
Formerly Matt Bowen and Paul Dabbar of Columbia University’s Center for Global Energy Policy warned in the articlethat in the event of a complete cessation of the supply of enriched uranium from Russia, US nuclear reactors will stop working. Russia controls 40% of the world uranium conversion market.
