URANIUM MANAGEMENT: Actions to Mitigate Risks to Domestic Supply Chain Could Be Better Planned and Coordinated
GAO Report | 12/10/2020
The National Nuclear Security Administration relies on the commercial uranium industry to produce uranium for nuclear weapons and other national security missions. Under international agreements such uranium must be mined in the U.S. and enriched using U.S. technology. However, the U.S. has not had the capability to produce such uranium since 2013.
The U.S. released a new national strategy to address the concerns expressed by domestic uranium industry and support new uranium production. However, the strategy could be improved—for instance, by identifying the resources needed to carry it out. We recommended strategy improvements and more.
