Uranium Enrichment: U.S. Imports of Soviet Enriched Uranium

GAO reviewed U.S. utilities' use of Soviet uranium ore and enriched uranium, focusing on: (1) uranium imported into the United States; (2) whether utilities engaged in flag-swapping or other practices to conceal enriched uranium purchases; (3) the Soviet Union's enriched uranium trade policy and practices; (4) U.S. uranium import requirements; and (5) reasons that utilities give for cancelling Department of Energy (DOE) uranium enrichment contracts.
