Letter to the Hon. Donald J. Trump - Cheney And Colleagues Press For "Bold And Immediate Action' To Revive U.S. Uranium Industry

Letter

"The domestic uranium industry is vital to both our energy and national security. Unfortunately, U.S. uranium mining is at now its lowest levels in over eight decades, supplying just one percent of the uranium needed to power the American nuclear reactor fleet. This has forced the few remaining uranium companies to consider shuttering production entirely, which could lead to total American dependency on uranium imports.

"I am hopeful that the Trump Administration will take bold and immediate action to revive and expand the domestic uranium industry. This will in turn preserve critical workforces and infrastructure, upholding them as a key productive component to U.S. national and energy security."
