Requires the producer of the spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste to characterize, package, and transport such fuel and waste before its acceptance by DOE. Requires the lease contracts to provide for appropriate compensation for costs incurred in or associated with: (1) the final disposition of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste for which DOE is responsible, and (2) carrying out the uranium lease and take-back program described above. Requires such program to be established within three years after the enactment of this Act. Prohibits the Secretary from exchanging uranium for specified services.

Provides that such export ban will not go into effect unless the Secretaries of Energy and Health and Human Services have jointly certified that: (1) there is a sufficient supply of molybdenum-99 without the use of highly enriched uranium to meet the needs of patients in the United States, and (2) it is not necessary to export U.S.-origin highly enriched uranium for medical isotope production in order to meet such patient needs. Permits suspension of an ongoing export license restriction for a 12-month period if: (1) there is a critical shortage of molybdenum-99 to satisfy domestic U.S. medical isotope needs, (2) the Secretary certifies to Congress that the export of U.S.-origin highly enriched uranium for medical isotope production is the only effective temporary means to increase the supply of molybdenum-99 necessary to meet U.S. medical isotope needs during that period, and (3) Congress enacts a joint resolution approving such suspension.

(Sec. 3175) Requires the NRC Chairman to report to Congress on the current disposition of previous U.S. exports of highly enriched uranium used as fuel or targets in a nuclear research or test reactor.
