Enriched Uranium Producer Achieves Sunset Review Win

Steptoe's International group achieved an important victory yesterday for USEC Inc. before the US International Trade Commission.  In a sunset review proceeding, the ITC voted 4-1 to maintain the Uranium from Russia antidumping suspension agreement.  The maintenance of this suspension agreement is an important part of USEC's development of new domestic technology for uranium enrichment, and is critical to the continued success of a nuclear non-proliferation program involving the conversion of Russian nuclear warheads into fuel for US power plants.

USEC is the only US producer of enriched uranium.
