Uranium stocks on the move as US Senate approves reserve bill
Uranium prices have risen to their highest point in nearly five years after a bill to create a national US uranium reserve was passed by the US Senate.
Uranium, which is widely used in nuclear power plants, was fetching US$29.70/pound as markets closed last Friday.
US intitiatives
On that day, the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works approved a bill that advances a federal initiative to establish a national, strategic uranium reserve. It had bipartisan support.
This is good news for uranium suppliers, particularly those who plan to sell uranium to the US Department of Energy.
Under the new American Nuclear Infrastructure Act, the DOE will only be able to buy uranium recovered from facilities licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or equivalent agreement state agencies.
Importantly, it will exclude companies owned, controlled or subject to jurisdictions in China or Russia from selling uranium to the US.
