Non-Proliferation Sanctions Summary
There are three distinct sanctions programs designed to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction: 1) Executive Order 13382 of June 28, 2005, blocks the property of persons engaged in proliferation activities and their support networks. 2) Weapons of Mass Destruction Trade Control Regulations implement a ban on imports into the United States, pursuant to Executive Order 12938. 3) Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) Agreement Assets Control Regulations implement Executive Order 13159 of June 21, 2000, “Blocking Property of the Government of the Russian Federation Relating to the Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted From Nuclear Weapons.” These regulations and Executive Order 13159 are directed at the property used to carry out international agreements between the United States and the Russian Federation for the conversion of highly enriched uranium extracted from Russian nuclear weapons into low-enriched uranium for use in commercial nuclear reactors.
