The Uzbek Atomic Energy Agency boosted its annual production of Uranium to 7,000 tonnes last year, well above market expectations, and increased reserves estimates. Still, yellowcake prices remain sharply higher on expectations that nuclear power capacity will continue to increase to match datacenter and electrification demand. The US government cut regulation on permits for uranium converters and announced deals for the construction of new plants. These include a partnership with Cameco, which approved the development of Westinghouse reactors, and a fresh $2.7 billion in contracts to Centrus and two other reactors and enrichers to offset the shun of supply from Russia following sanctions on their nuclear fuel.
