Russian spent fuel bill agreed by Duma

摘要

On 11 July, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a package of laws permitting the import of spent nuclear fuel for disposal and storage. The package was sent to Putin for signing at the end of June, following their passage through the State Duma (lower house of Parliament) and a debate in the Federation Council (upper house) on one of three bills involved. On 6 June, the Duma adopted the three bills at a third and final reading after a 20 minute debate.
