PGS President Ken Luongo joined Veriten’s podcast for a conversation on the role of nuclear geopolitics, developments in the nuclear market, and the implications of the U.S. decision to cutoff Russian uranium imports. On the heels of the U.S. government committing over $3 billion to support the domestic uranium supply chain, Luongo shared his perspective on how Russian aggression in Ukraine and Russia’s outsized role in the global uranium supply chain has caused many U.S. policymakers to rethink their strategy. Additionally, the podcast discussed where U.S. funding in the uranium sector might be applied and whether it will be enough to reduce the United States’ dependence on Russian uranium and nuclear fuel. Luongo also discussed China’s role in the global energy security picture, as well as a recently published study on the proliferation risks of some potential advanced reactor uranium supply chains.
