US strategy report
In April, Peninsula welcomed a key update provided by US Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette in the Nuclear Fuel Working Group’s (NFWG) strategy report.
The NFWG report outlines a comprehensive whole-of-government strategy of actions that could revive the capabilities of the uranium mining, milling and conversion industries in support of the entire US nuclear industry.
Peninsula managing director and chief executive officer Wayne Heili said that, when implemented, the recommendations would provide an immediate boost to US uranium producers, such as Peninsula, through supply agreements with the Department of Energy (DOE).
He said: “This looks to be a very good outcome for Peninsula and all US uranium producers.”
