For National Security, We Need Uranium Mined In America
Authored by Ivan Maldonado via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Perhaps it's too soon to mark nuclear power's revival in the U.S. but there is a burst of activity that should ultimately yield a new generation of advanced nuclear plants and small modular reactors.

This is especially true for major industrial energy consumers—which now also includes data centers—where there is a strong economic incentive to use more nuclear power instead of natural gas and intermittent renewables.
In Illinois, Meta recently signed a long-term agreement to buy nuclear power from Constellation's Clinton nuclear plant, the latest in a slew of deals between big tech and the nuclear industry. Constellation also said it would restart Three Mile Island Unit One in Pennsylvania and sell the power to Microsoft under a 20-year ...

Chief of the country's Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) Nicolas Lerner said in a televised interview the strikes had merely delayed Iran's nuclear program by several months.
"Our assessment today is that each of these stages has been very seriously affected, very seriously damaged," he said. "The nuclear program, as we knew it, has been extremely delayed, probably many months," he added.
While France has some indications of where Iran's uranium might be, Lerner emphasized in the remarks that definitive confirmation would only be possible once the UN's atomic watchdog resumes in...
