Donald Trump has done nothing to stop the criminals. been a year. Anyone else would be in jail by now.
In a letter to Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairwoman Kristine Svinicki, Senate Environment & Public Works Committee Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) is demanding an explanation for how U.S. uranium left the country after the Uranium One deal.
The senator, who represents the home state of three of the companys uranium recovery facilities, said he registered strong concerns about the 2010 deal with President Barack Obama. He said he now believes the response he received, and the process through which he received it, were misleading.
He notes that in March of 2011, then-NRC Chairman Greg Jaczko said that neither Uranium One nor the subsidiary of the Russian-government-owner Rosatom held the necessary export license to ship U.S. uranium out of the country. That assessment was repeated in the NRCs recommendation to approve the Uranium One sale.
However, beginning in 2012, Uranium One was able to begin exporting uranium without an export license in a move called piggy-backing, where it was listed merely as a supplier on another companys export license. However, that uranium that left the country was supposed to return for future processing.
Not only did that uranium leave the U.S., but it was eventually exported out of Canada........
This is a stunning article and I’m so glad you posted it. Though I’d much prefer one that sent me away smiling, rather than one that sends me pounding on the nearest wall. Thank you, even for the frustration. We have to know this stuff.
