Written Question
Nuclear Fuels: Russia
Wednesday 25th June 2025

Asked by: Lord Ravensdale (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made in bringing forward legislation to ban Russian nuclear fuel imports by 2028.

Answered by Lord Wilson of Sedgefield - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The Government has already committed to removing any Russian fuel and uranium supply to the UK by 2030 and officials continue to explore ways to re-emphasise existing commitments to divestment.

The procurement of nuclear fuel, including uranium and enrichment services, is a commercial matter for reactor operators. The Government works closely with these operators to ensure there is a secure and resilient supply for the UK fleet. All reactor operators must comply with UK domestic and international legal obligations, including any sanctions or trade measures in place against Russian-origin uranium.

The Government will continue its work with international partners to build resilient in nuclear fuel supply chains and to remove global dependencies on Russia.
