U.S. Secures Largest-Ever HALEU Shipment to Power American Nuclear Industry

As the Department of Energy facilitates America's domestic supply chain for nuclear technology, this material-once processed-will help bridge the gap between supply and demand through the Office of Nuclear Energy's HALEU Availability Program, laying the foundation for the next century of nuclear leadership.

"This milestone accelerates our progress towards a secure and independent energy future, while reaffirming our commitment to nuclear nonproliferation," said Dr. Matthew Napoli, NNSA's Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation. "Through this partnership with Japan, we are fueling the next generation of nuclear power, and solidifying America's energy dominance."

This delivery directly supports President Trump's Executive Order on Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security to accelerate the development of reliable, domestic HALEU supply chain to support American nuclear industry.
