In addition, these bills would promote the domestic uranium mining industry either by imposing a charge on foreign uranium contained in nuclear reactor fuel assemblies or by authorizing funds for the purchase of domestic uranium by the Federal Government. This document,3 prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, provides background and a summary description of the bills and related issues before the Committee on Ways and Means.
