By Ari Natter

Legislation that would bar the import of enriched Russian uranium into the US has been teed up for a vote in the US House of Representatives.

The Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act, by Washington Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, has been scheduled for consideration next week under an expedited procedure that requires two-thirds majority to pass, according to the House floor schedule.
