The United States plans to resume production of highly enriched uranium, Azernews reports, citing the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) at the US Department of Energy, Jill Hruby.
"Taking into account the global dynamics, it becomes clear that we will need to resume production of highly enriched uranium in the United States in a few decades," Hruby said, speaking in Washington at the annual conference on nuclear deterrence.
