Latta Seeks Nuclear Independence, Introduces the NO RUSSIA Act

Statement

"The United States has lost our competitive edge in the development of nuclear energy," said Latta. "It is an unfortunate reality that we have not kept pace with our allies and rivals in investing in nuclear power and building up our capacity to control all steps of the nuclear fuel cycle. This has been made abundantly clear in light of Russia's despicable invasion of Ukraine. That is why I am introducing the NO RUSSIA Act, which is critical to American energy independence. This bill will cut America's reliance on Russian uranium and support nuclear innovation right here at home in the United States. Relying on foreign nations to support uranium energy supplies to the U.S. will never provide for a secure future, and the global conflict we are experiencing now further highlights the critical importance of becoming energy independent."
