## Attachment—Order

## In the Matter of General License Holders—EA-22-038

## Order Suspending General License Authority To Export Radioactive Material and Deuterium to the Russian Federation (Effective Immediately)

                    The licensees that are subject to this order are authorized by the NRC through the general licenses granted in sections 110.21 through 110.24 of title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations*                     (CFR), pursuant to Sections 54, 64, 82, and 109b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), to export radioactive material, and deuterium for nuclear end use, to the Russian Federation.                

The Executive Branch has determined that exports of radioactive material, and of deuterium for nuclear end use, to the Russian Federation under these 10 CFR part 110 general licenses would be inimical to the common defense and security of the United States. For this reason, the Executive Branch has requested that the NRC suspend the general license authority in 10 CFR 110.21 through 110.24 for any exports of radioactive material and deuterium for nuclear end use to the Russian Federation. It is the view of the Executive Branch that this action is necessary to further the national security interests of the United States and to enhance the United States common defense and security and is consistent with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b., 161i., 183, and 186 of the AEA, and 10 CFR 110.20(b) and (f) and 10 CFR 110.50(a)(1) and (2), NRC general license authority to export radioactive material, and deuterium for nuclear end use, to the Russian Federation under Sections 54, 64, 82 and 109b of the AEA and 10 CFR 110.21 through 110.24 is suspended, effective immediately. This suspension will remain in effect until further notice. Any person wishing to export radioactive material, or deuterium for nuclear end use, to the Russian Federation must apply for a specific license in accordance with 10 CFR 110.31.

Dated: May 12, 2022.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
