Domestic nuclear generators depend largely on foreign producers for uranium; 90% of the 40 million pounds purchased by U.S. nuclear plants in 2018 were from foreign countries, with Canada accounting for the most at 24%, according to the U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA). Industrial Info is tracking nearly $10 billion in active uranium-related projects in the U.S. and Canada.
