The US made a record-breaking purchase of enriched uranium from Russia in May, reaching $209.5 million, the highest since last year. According to the US Bureau of Statistics, 91.1 tons of uranium were imported after a brief halt in April.

Overall, US uranium purchases have soared to $987 million this year, a new peak. This also marks the first time since 2015 that the US has bought from all major suppliers.

I agree just learned about Thorium a few days ago! Such a shame the USA government pulled the plug on the technology and fuel source in the 1970s

They aren't even trying to run the uranium from a proxy state? They are just flowing it directly from Russia to US? They aren't even trying anymore haha
