Military Defense Impacted by Domestic Uranium Shortage?
Few people know that the U.S. military's nuclear fleet is the largest uranium fuel consumer in the world. About 160 U.S. ships are powered by over 200 small nuclear reactors. While most are submarines, some icebreakers and aircraft carriers are also nuclear-powered. Unfortunately, current U.S. reliance on Russian state-owned sources for our uranium supply leaves our entire nuclear energy sector - including defense - vulnerable to geopolitical conflict such as Russia's war against Ukraine.
