The US government is investigating a possible circumvention of the ban on the import of Russian uranium into the USA by China. There is a suspicion that China is importing enriched uranium from Russia while exporting its own production to the USA, the news agency Reuters learned from government circles on Tuesday. „We don’t want to turn off the Russian tap and suddenly all the material comes from China“, said Jon Indall from the US Uranium Producers Association (UPA). „We’ve asked the Department of Commerce to look into this.“ The US Department of Commerce did not initially respond to a request for comment.
