Reported Earlier, 'U.S. Tightens Export Controls Of Nuclear Power Items To China' - Nikkei Asia
Portfolio Pulse from Happy Mohamed
The Biden administration has tightened controls on the export of materials and components for nuclear power plants to China. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) now require exporters to get specific licenses for certain items. The move is seen as necessary to further the national security interests of the United States. Westinghouse, a U.S. company, has four AP1000 reactors in China. The changes are seen as more symbolic than substantive and are not expected to have a significant impact on China's nuclear weapons program.
