The three US companies were named as Luminant, Ameren UE and Pacific Oil and Gas. "The deal is worth one billion dollars (700 million euros) and runs from 2014 to 2020," Novikov said. The agreement on the deliveries followed a deal signed last year by Washington and Moscow which authorised Russian uranium exports to the US civil nuclear power industry.
