President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan bill on Monday banning the import of Russian enriched uranium in a bid to reduce the United States’ reliance on Russia for civilian nuclear power.

The bill, dubbed the Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act, will unlock about $2.72 billion in federal funding that was recently appropriated by Congress at the president’s request.
