In 2023, the United States sourced its enriched uranium from a diverse set of countries, with the largest share coming from domestic production at 28%. Russia, despite geopolitical tensions, was a close second, supplying 27% of the U.S.'s enriched uranium needs. This highlights Russia's significant role in the global uranium enrichment market, controlling nearly half of the world's capacity. France and other unspecified sources each contributed 12%, indicating a reliance on European partners as well. The Netherlands and the United Kingdom provided smaller shares, at 8% and 7% respectively, while Germany (DEU) accounted for 6%. This distribution underscores the strategic importance of maintaining a diversified supply chain for enriched uranium, balancing between domestic production and international partnerships. The data also reflects the complex geopolitical landscape of energy resources, where economic and strategic interests often intersect.
