It would support environmental justice initiatives, prioritize addressing long-standing and persistent racial injustice by targeting 40
percent of the benefits of climate and clean infrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities, consider rural communities and communities impacted by the market-based transition to clean energy, and include meaningful stakeholder engagement.
In December 2020, Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 Pub. L. 116260 that makes $75,000,000 available to the Department for the Uranium Reserve Program. The Department is considering options to acquire natural uranium and convert this uranium into uranium hexafluoride that would be stored at commercial facilities in the United States.
In considering options, the Department will focus on reinvigorating domestic nuclear fuel supply chain capabilities, utilizing existing facilities, and minimizing negative disruption of market mechanisms. The Department expects the acquisition of natural uranium to result in new uranium production at existing domestic sites.
The Department does not intend such new production to initiate or expand mining on Tribal lands, expand the Office of Legacy Managements LM
Uranium Leasing Program, or expand access to additional uranium deposits located on other Federal lands.
Additionally, the Department does not intend to acquire uranium or uranium hexafluoride produced from enricher underfeeding, the re-enrichment of tails, or other sources that do not support the reinvigoration of uranium production and conversion capabilities. Likewise, the Department expects to use existing domestic commercial conversion 1 https www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/
