Governing Uranium in the United States

By Sharon Squassoni, Stephanie Cooke, Robert Kim, and Jacob Greenberg

This report examines current U.S. regulation and industry practices regarding security measures and controls over natural uranium prior to enrichment. Topics include prudent management practices, export-import controls, transportation, physical protection, and material accounting. The report highlights security analysis on uranium mining, milling, and conversion, which have historically enjoyed less proliferation scrutiny than other components of the nuclear fuel cycle.

The report is a part of the global Governing Uranium Project headed by the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS).
