When will the Department request proposals from industry to establish commercial production of high-assay low-enriched uranium?

Chairman Manchin and Senator Risch and I introduced legislation to authorize the Department to execute its plan.

I actually believe that you, and I believe the Secretary of Energy, really want to speed this up and are not the cause of the inaction.

Nuclear power is our nation's largest source of carbon-free electricity.

I think it's not you and I think it's not the Secretary. So then, I am looking to see where that is.

Inaction is also fiscally irresponsible.

Nuclear power is our nation's largest source of carbon-free electricity.

I have urged the Department to accelerate its efforts to establish a U.S. source for high-assay low-enriched uranium.

I, too, come to the floor today to talk about the soft-on-crime policies of Democrats in Washington, DC. In 2020, Democrats all across the country started their movement to defund the police. Almost immediately, we saw burning cities…

Nuclear power is our nation's largest source of carbon-free electricity.

I rise today to recognize the 100th anniversary of the Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne. This is a hands-on service organization making a profound impact on the development of Wyoming's youth. The club is committed in every way to the betterment…

U.S. uranium is critical to America's energy security.

Chairman Manchin and Senator Risch and I introduced legislation to authorize the Department to execute its plan to ensure U.S. nuclear fuel availability, but the program needs to be funded.

There are some people that just oppose nuclear energy. And I am wondering to see if there is somebody that is out there trying to slow things down intentionally because of their concerns regarding the issue of nuclear energy.

I have urged the Department to accelerate its efforts to establish a U.S. source for high-assay low-enriched uranium.

I actually believe that you, and I believe the Secretary of Energy, really want to speed this up and are not the cause of the inaction.

We must reestablish the United States as the global leader in nuclear energy.

I come to the floor today to talk about the priorities, misguided priorities, of the Democrat majority in the Senate. So far this year, Senate Democrats have ignored the most important issues that are facing our country. Democrats are…

Thanks for your incredible remarks as we open this Committee hearing today.

Our nuclear energy industry is ready to transition away from Russian uranium.

So my question to you is, as more of our allies in Europe and around the world look to wean themselves off of Russian gas, how important is it, here in the United States, that we increase U.S. LNG export capacity?

We cannot allow President Biden to throw away America's hard-won energy independence and increase our reliance on China and Russia.

Do you agree we need to ban Russian uranium to provide American nuclear fuel suppliers with some market certainty?

Well, yes. There are a number of issues and different permits for different components of it.

It seems every dollar we give to Russia supports Putin's war against Ukraine.
