11 December 2020 Share Actions to mitigate risks to the USA's domestic uranium supply chain could be better planned and coordinated, according to a report published yesterday by the US Government Accountability Office (GAO). Improving cost estimates to support future funding requests for the proposed uranium reserve is one of several recommendations by the GAO to improve the strategy to address concerns expressed by domestic uranium industry and support new uranium production.

The strategy outlined by the NFWG includes setting up a uranium reserve with the purchase of uranium from US mines and of US conversion services.
