United States Congress Provides Funding to Establish the U.S. Uranium Reserve and a Legislative Backstop for Recently Extended Russian Uranium Import Limits
(firmenpresse) - Corpus Christi, TX, December 22, 2020 - Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC; UEC or the Company - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/scott-melbye-uranium-market-fundamentals-are-very-bullish/) is pleased to report the U.S. Federal Government omnibus spending bill passed by Congress includes $75 million for initial funding of the 10-year U.S. Uranium Reserve. The language is contained in the Energy & Water appropriations provisions related to Department of Energys National Nuclear Security Administration programs. This is a very positive step forward for the domestic uranium mining industry with clear bipartisan and bicameral support. The Bill has now passed the full House and Senate, and a Presidential signature is expected soon.
UEC Chairman and former U.S. Energy Secretary, Spencer Abraham, commented: This key development is a shot in the arm to the uranium mining sector, and we expect to see Washington build on this program and take other appropriate actions to strengthen our sector. It comes on the heels of the 20-year extension of the Russian Suspension Agreement amendment which strengthens the limitations on imports of Russian uranium. This legislation also contains language providing a Congressional backstop to this important trade agreement, protecting American Energy Security. These steps, and other recent bipartisan legislative successes, speak to the importance of nuclear energy, and its uranium fuel cycle, in the generation of baseload, carbon-free energy in the United States.
