        Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom, the world's largest supplier of enriched uranium, said on Monday it was delivering uranium to all of its customers as usual and that supplies to the United States could take place under a special regime.
        
        Russia said on Friday that it had imposed temporary restrictions on the export of enriched uranium to the United States in response to U.S moves.
        
        Uranium prices rose on the decision.
        
        In May, President Joe Biden signed into law a ban on Russian enriched uranium, though the U.S. also has the ability to issue waivers if there are supply concerns.
        
        "The decree prohibiting the export of uranium products from Russia to the United States... is an anticipated reciprocal response to the actions of the U.S. authorities," Rosatom said in a statement.
        
        "The decree also establishes a special licensing regime that permits the supply of Russian uranium products to the United States and U.S. customers," Rosatom said.
