European uranium dumped in US at unfair prices: commerce dept Washington, July 6 (AFP) - The U.S. Department of Commerce on Friday issued a preliminary ruling that enriched uranium from France and Britain is being sold at unfairly low prices in the United States, and called for antidumping duties to be imposed.
