Washington, D.C.–Today, the Trump administration reached a final decision regarding the U.S. uranium miners’ Section 232 petition. The following statement can be attributed to Maria Korsnick, president and chief executive officer at the Nuclear Energy Institute:
“NEI applauds the president’s decision that uranium imports do not threaten national security. Quotas on uranium imports would have a crippling impact on the economic health of the U.S. nuclear fleet. The formation of the Nuclear Fuel Working Group to support the front end of the domestic fuel cycle aligns with one of NEI’s recommendations to address the very real challenges faced by the U.S. uranium miners and other fuel cycle suppliers.”
