Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) released the following statement praising the Trump administration’s decisive action to fulfill its promise to secure America’s energy independence through the expansion of nuclear power. The Department of Energy’s commitments to provide high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to five U.S. nuclear developers is an important step in restoring our energy security and advancing our technological leadership.
“President Trump’s game-changing nuclear initiative is exactly the kind of forward thinking that will propel Wyoming and American energy and address our needs,” said Lummis. “By securing our domestic HALEU supply, we are not just powering America’s future, we are reclaiming our technological leadership and creating prosperity that will benefit Wyoming and the entire nation for decades to come.”
