The U.S. has the capacity and resources to supply a majority of our domestic uranium requirements to power the nation's commercial nuclear reactors. Despite the country's rich uranium resources, domestic production has sharply declined since the 1980's, displaced by imports and leaving these resources largely untapped. It's time to start producing our uranium at home, again.

With most Americans supporting nuclear power, the U.S. is reasserting itself as a global leader in nuclear energy and ensuring reliable, American-made uranium supply is ready to meet our growing needs. Recognizing the national security risks of foreign dependence, lawmakers are committed to rebuilding a secure domestic nuclear fuel cycle to strengthen energy independence.

• In 2023, imports accounted for 99% of uranium consumed by U.S. nuclear plants.
• Growing geopolitical tensions have heightened concerns over energy security and supply chain vulnerabilities.
• The U.S. is working to halt uranium imports from unfriendly jurisdictions and rebuild a secure domestic nuclear fuel cycle, including uranium extraction capabilities.

Key Legislative Actions:

• Nuclear Fuel Security Act of 2023 – Lays the foundation for restoring the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain, including domestic uranium mining and processing.
• Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act of 2024 – Moves to end reliance on Russian uranium, reinforcing America's energy independence.
• Bi-partisan Infrastructure Law: $6Bn Nuclear Credit Program.
