U.S. nuclear power plants got about 24% of their enriched uranium from Russia in 2022. Nuclear energy is staging a comeback as demand continues to rise to meet clean energy goals, but the U.S. currently lacks sufficient capacity to turn raw uranium into nuclear fuel.

WSJ takes a look at how the U.S. is reviving domestic production of nuclear fuel to lessen its dependence on Moscow.

I seem to recall that when Hilldabeast was Secretary of State she sod the Russians 50% of our Uranium stockpile in exchange for a donation by Russia to The Clinton Foundation. That was the Uranium One deal. ;)
