BACKGROUND The Commission, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), instituted this review on February 1, 2017 (82 F.R. 8951) and determined on May 8, 2017 that it would conduct an expedited review (82 F.R. 27287, June 14, 2017). 1 The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 1 Views of the Commission Based on the record in this five‐year review, we determine under section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Tariff Act”), that termination of the suspended investigation covering uranium from Russia would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. I. Background Original Investigation: On December 23, 1991, the Commission determined that there was a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of imports of uranium from the U.S.S.R. that allegedly were being sold at less than fair value (“LTFV”).1 Two days later, the Soviet Union dissolved into separate republics. Commerce and the Commission continued their respective investigations, with Commerce conducting 12 separate investigations, one concerning each of the former Soviet republics.2 Commerce issued affirmative preliminary determinations in the investigations concerning the newly independent countries in June 1992.3 On October 16, 1992, Commerce entered into suspension agreements with the six Soviet successor countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan) that produced uranium.4 In early 1993, Tajikistan

Present-day PA «Mayak» is an up- to-date and dynamically developing enterprise of the State Atomic Energy Corporation «Rosatom». «Mayak» PA is the leading Russian and one of the biggest world manufacturers of sealed radionuclide sources. The product mix offered today by «Mayak» PA to domestic and foreign customers, includes more than 200 codes of alpha-, beta-, gamma- and neutron sources with various dimensional and radiation specifications, and with reactor isotopes Cobalt-60, Iridium-192, fission isotopes Caesium-137, Americium-241, Plutonium-239, Promethium-147, Strontium-90, etc., as their active material, as well as bulk isotopes with Carbon-14 and Helium-3 gas among them. Ionising sources are widely used for various scientific and technical applications such as radiation processing equipment, oil-well logging, industrial NDT instruments, gamma-radiography, various process control and measurement instruments and other gauges, and also in medicine. At present, acting under the Federal Law dated 11.07.2011, No. 190- FZ, «Mayak» PA accepts for long-term storage and re-processing the disused ionising sources operated in Russia and made both by «Mayak» PA and other manufacturers and Mayak’s origin sources operated outside Russia. At present «Mayak» PA has become an independent player in the market of re-sourcing of radiation facilities and machines. «Mayak» PA offers «from cradle to grave» service package that covers the entire life-cycle of the sources from their manufacture to disposal and allows working directly with organisations operating Mayak’s origin sources.

    Program jądrowy w Federacji Rosyjskiej PROGRAM POLSKIEJ ENERGETYKI JĄDROWEJ ANALIZY I OPRACOWANIA 10 materiał informacyjny opracowany przez Departament Energii Jądrowej Ministerstwa Energii JAMAŁ Rosyjski 150-metrowy lodołamacz wyposażony w dwa reaktory jądrowe. Jest jednym z niewielu statków, którym udało się dopłynąć do bieguna północne- go, i jedynym, któremu ta sztuka udała się kilkadziesiąt razy. Jednostka jest również statkiem wycieczkowym posiadającym 50 kabin i apartamentów. Opracowanie uwzględnia dane według stanu na maj 2016. Program jądrowy w Federacji Rosyjskiej Energia jądrowa pozostaje strategicznym priorytetem dla Rosji. Utrzy- muje się stały wzrost jej udziału w bilansie energetycznym kraju zarówno poprzez budowę nowych bloków jądrowych, jak i dzięki znacznej poprawie wydajności istniejących instalacji. Obecnie FR eksploatuje 35 reaktorów energetycznych o całkowitej mocy 26,1 GWe, które dostarczają ok. 18% krajowej produkcji energii elektrycznej, a w budowie znajduje się kolejnych 8 reaktorów. Do roku 2030 planowane jest uruchomienie 15 nowych reaktorów i zwiększenie udziału energii jądrowej w bilansie energetycznym do 25-30%. Kraj ten opanował pełny cykl paliwowy, w tym wzbogacanie uranu oraz przerób wypalonego paliwa i jest samowystarczalny pod względem zaopa- trzenia w paliwo jądrowe oraz postępowania z odpadami promieniotwór- czymi. Eksport urządzeń i usług jądrowych stanowi jeden z głównych celów politycznych i ekonomicznych państwa. Firmy rosyjskie oferują kom- pleksową dostawę technologii (budowa elektrowni, dostarczanie paliwa, demontaż) a państwo zapewnia wsparcie finansowe tych inwestycji.

DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT IS UNLIMITED T ABSTRACT The improvement of the ecological conditions at waste storing reservoirs is an important task of the restoration activity at Production Association (PA) "Mayak" (South Urals). The radionuclides, mostly ^Sr, 137Cs, and chemical pollutants deposited in the reservoir water and in the bottom sediment are very dangerous sources for the contamination of Techa River below the reservoirs and the contamination of groundwater in the suirounding formations. The spreading of radioactive contaminants has both hydrogeological and the chemical features. The thermodynamic approach used to account for physical-chemical interactions between water and the bed rocks based on Gibbs free energy minimization of multicomponent system (H-O-Ca-Mg-K-Na-S-Cl-C-Sr) permitted to calculate the corresponding ionic and complex species existing in the solutions, and to characterize the processes of precipitation and dissolution.
