Russia is already producing HALEU in commercial quantity for their SMR opertion. Russia already have 40% market share in commercial LEU fuel. Even US and EU are importing 20% of their LEU fuel from Russia. To reduce nuclear fuel or energy dependency on Russia, US should hurry to build HALEU plant with production capacity enough to provide commercial HALEU needs of the world. It should have enough scale to be cost competitive.
Thanks for this can we get an update as the gov has put out a lot of bills for funding nuclear and haleu the past month?
