U.S. Urgently Needs Domestic Enriched Uranium As Full Russian Ban Nears
The Trump administration is hastening measures to spur domestic production of enriched uranium to counteract a full ban on Russian imports that will take effect in 2028.
- Russia supplies approximately 14–20% of the enriched uranium used by U.S. nuclear power plants, creating a critical energy security vulnerability.
- The Russian Uranium Import Ban Act, signed in 2024, phases out all imports by 2028, with temporary waivers expiring that same year.
- The Trump administration has allocated over $2.5 billion in contracts and incentives to revive domestic enrichment, focusing on Centrus Energy and Urenco facilities.
