Domestic Enrichment: The Best Path to HALEU
(Slide 1 of 2)
.
Domestic HALEU enrichment solves the "chicken vs. egg”
dilemma. Establishing domestic production of HALEU - initially to
meet U.S. government mission requirements - would eliminate
uncertainty about whether a domestic source of HALEU will be
available to support commercial reactors, removing one of the
biggest obstacles to deployment of Gen IV reactors.
Domestic HALEU enrichment dovetails with U.S. national
security requirements. The United States needs a source of
domestic-technology enrichment for future national security
missions. Establishing that capability today reduces the long-term
costs and risks of meeting those requirements.
