Rosatom Sanctions Enforcement Act

HR 8046, the Rosatom Sanctions Enforcement Act, requires the U.S. to end reliance on Russia's Rosatom nuclear energy sector by imposing sanctions on Rosatom and related entities. It mandates a presidential strategy within 180 days to replace Rosatom-supplied nuclear services, block transactions with Rosatom, and pause U.S.-Russia nuclear cooperation (the 123 Agreement) until Russia meets specific conditions like ending hostilities in Ukraine. The bill blocks U.S. transactions with Rosatom, its executives, contractors for nuclear projects, and entities linked to the Zaporizhzhia plant, with limited waivers allowed for medical isotope production. It directly affects Rosatom, its affiliates, and U.S. entities engaging in significant transactions with them, while requiring congressional oversight of sanctions implementation.
