US pushes to expand uranium enrichment
The United States is exerting pressure on suppliers to accelerate the development of uranium enrichment capabilities in order to avoid a potential shortage in supplies. This effort aims to support the expansion of nuclear energy production, which is experiencing increasing demand, especially as uranium prices have nearly tripled over the past five years. Washington wants to ensure the availability of as much domestic nuclear fuel as possible to achieve a nuclear renaissance, supporting the construction of new reactors or the restart of closed plants. This initiative comes amid a global debate over the benefits of nuclear energy on one side, and the risks of waste and costs on the other. France, which relies on nuclear power for 70% of its electricity generation, differs from the United States, which depends on nuclear in only 18%. The US also has plans to boost its capacity by reactivating previously closed nuclear plants.
