Nuclear Fuel Working Group Update
President Trump’s Fiscal Year 2021 budget included a $150 million line item each year for the next decade to establish a Uranium Reserve. The Department of Energy budget description further stated that the “Uranium Reserve provides assurance of availability of uranium in the event of a market disruption and supports strategic U.S. fuel cycle capabilities. This action addresses immediate challenges to the production of domestic uranium and reflects the Administration’s Nuclear Fuel Working Group (NFWG) priorities.”  In a recent follow-up interview with Bloomberg, U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette stated that the budget action was “to begin the process of developing a larger Uranium Reserve to help both our civilian and defense needs in the United States”.  Secretary Brouillete further disclosed that the announcement of the NFWG results and the rest of the package would be released shortly. Hence uranium miners with U.S. based resources continue to anticipate additional favorable support from the Trump administration.
