The Race for Uranium Has Gone Global

The United States currently imports roughly 95% of the uranium it consumes, leaving the world’s largest nuclear fleet almost entirely dependent on foreign fuel[1]. In January 2026, the White House issued a Section 232 proclamation formally designating uranium a national security risk, opening the door to import restrictions, price floors, and direct federal support for domestic miners[2]. Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL), Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) (TSX: CCO), Denison Mines (NYSE-A: DNN) (TSX: DML), Centrus Energy (NYSE: LEU), and NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) are each advancing projects that strengthen the domestic nuclear fuel cycle.

WHAT THIS MEANS

The U.S. government has designated uranium as a national security risk under Section 232, creating significant tailwinds for domestic nuclear fuel producers through potential import restrictions, price supports, and federal funding. This policy shift addresses critical supply chain vulnerabilities as the U.S. imports 95% of its uranium consumption, positioning domestic miners and nuclear energy companies for substantial growth.
