## Summary

**End U.S. dependence on Rosatom** by creating a layered sanctions and export-control system to choke off Russian state nuclear financing and push allies to diversify nuclear supply. The bill also forces a clear U.S. strategy to find vulnerabilities in allied energy systems and to replace Rosatom services for reactor safety and overhaul. - Requires the President to submit an unclassified decoupling strategy, with an optional classified annex, that details steps to replace Rosatom services and to identify allied infrastructure vulnerabilities. The plan is due within 180 days and must be updated annually for four years. - Triggers sanctions 180 days after enactment on foreign persons operating in Russia's nuclear sector and on those who knowingly sign significant contracts with specified Rosatom-linked entities. Sanctions use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and can block property and bar transactions; termination is limited to narrow presidential certifications tied to Russian behavior. - Lets the President restrict correspondent and payable-through accounts for foreign banks that facilitate sanctioned activity and defines those banking terms. The bill preserves carve-outs for intelligence, UN operations, reactor safety, humanitarian assistance, and allows waivers for medical or industrial isotope transactions for up to seven years.

- Plan to reduce Rosatom dependence: benefit, medium. If enacted, the President would send Congress a plan within 180 days to stop U.S. dependence on Rosatom. The plan would be updated yearly for four years. It would show how to find other nuclear suppliers, replace Rosatom for reactor safety and overhaul services, and identify allied infrastructure o…
- Definitions and quick sanctions reports: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would define key terms and reporting rules used across the measure. It would say that "covered regulation" means parts 587 and 589 of 31 CFR as of enactment and define who counts as a foreign person, a United States person, Rosatom, and the relevant congressional committees. Th…
- Limits on foreign bank correspondent accounts: mixed, medium. If enacted, the President would be able to ban or tightly limit correspondent and payable-through accounts in the United States for foreign banks that the President finds helped covered Rosatom-related activities. The rule would affect U.S. banks that keep those accounts and could change how cross-…
