Rosatom: Russia Maintains Global Leadership in Uranium Enrichment, 25% of U.S. Nuclear Power Plants Use Russian Uranium - The United States Is Drafting a Plan to Quickly Resume Domestic Uranium Enrichment Production
Kirill Komarov, First Deputy Head of Development and International Business at Rosatom, stated that Russia has always maintained a global leadership position in nuclear power plant uranium enrichment, and the West has not changed this situation - for example, the United States uses Russian-supplied uranium fuel in 25% of its nuclear power plants.
Komarov pointed out at an international business forum held at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations: "We are still the leader in the global uranium enrichment field. No matter how much some Western partners want to change this situation, they cannot achieve it for now. Our share in the uranium enrichment market is close to 40%. For example, the United States has the largest nuclear power capacity in the world, close to 100 gigawatts. 25% of these units use Russian-enriched uranium."
TASS, Moscow, September 22 - U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said that the United States is drafting a plan to quickly resume domestic uranium enrichment production.
Haaland told reporters on a plane departing from Arizona: "We have put ourselves in a position of dependence on key minerals from China and Russia. It is unacceptable for the United States to buy uranium from Russia. Therefore, I and Energy Secretary Chris Wright are working to develop a plan to quickly restore U.S. uranium enrichment production."
U.S. Energy Secretary Wright said on September 15 that the United States cannot completely abandon buying enriched uranium from Russia for the time being.
