United States Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced on Tuesday that his country has reached an agreement to restart its uranium enrichment program within its borders in partnership with Orano, a nuclear fuel cycle corporation in which the French government has the majority stake.
Speaking at the EU-US Energy Relations in Times of Global Reshuffling conference in Paris, Wright noted the importance of energy independence, one of the goals of US President Donald Trump and his administration. Commenting on the country's energy cooperation with the European Union, Wright criticized the bloc's carbon-related tariffs, noting that they could make exporting gas to Europe "risky."
Earlier, the US announced that Orano was given $900 million in grants to build a nuclear facility in Tennessee. The US has engaged in uranium enrichment before, but its domestic commercial capacity has been very limited.
