U.S. Domestic Uranium Enrichment Capacity Expansion

planned

The project involves rebuilding and expanding the U.S. domestic uranium enrichment capacity to reduce reliance on foreign uranium sources, enhance national security, and support clean energy goals. It includes a DOE pilot program launched in July 2025 to accelerate advanced nuclear reactors and domestic fuel production, with Standard Nuclear as the first participant. The project also involves partnerships such as Centrus Energy with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and POSCO International to expand enrichment capacity in Ohio, and Uranium Energy Corp's subsidiary establishing a refining and conversion facility.
