... What? Trump decided to enact some protectionist uranium policies and this makes the nuclear industry the baddies..? Did you throw out all your cutlery in disgust when he jacked up steel import tariffs? This is cretinous.

hey murry, I'm from a pseudo-independant steel (and uranium) producing nation.

perhaps this summary is clearer: https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/news/us-uranium-mining-nfwg...

"according to the Department of Energy, the desire to enhance the domestic uranium industry is being driven by a demand for low-enriched uranium that will be used in tritium production for nuclear weapons in the 2040s, as well as highly-enriched uranium needed to fuel Navy nuclear reactors in the 2050s"
