Nuclear Reactors 595 - U.S. Is Considering Tariffs On Imported Uranium Reactor Fuel
Since President Trump started imposing tariffs on a variety of imports, other countries have reciprocated with tariffs on U.S. goods. Now the question has been raised of whether or not the U.S. needs to put tariffs on imported uranium destined to fuel U.S. commercial nuclear power reactors in the name of national security.

Nuclear Reactors 594 - Russian Kurchatov Institute Researching Extending Life Of VVER-440 Reactors
Many of the existing four hundred plus commercial nuclear power reactors in the world are reaching or have reached the end of their original forty-year licenses life span. Some of them are going to be shut down and others are applying for or have been granted extension of their legal life span. As reactors age, their concrete and steel deteriorate, and maintenance becomes more and more expensive.
