Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader Schumer, and Leader McConnell:
We the undersigned non-governmental organizations, labor unions, and business organizations write to urge you to include up to $2.1 billion in the Ukraine Supplemental to expand the domestic production capability for low enriched uranium (LEU), including high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU).
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has triggered a global re-alignment of energy supply chains. Russia had been a leading supplier of nuclear fuel and natural gas, but is no longer a viable source of either fuel for the U.S. or our allies.
