enCore Energy Comments on a Memorandum from President Trump Regarding the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Cycle
15 Juli 2019 - 2:30PM
enCore Energy Corp. (TSX.V: EU) (the
"
Company") has reviewed a memorandum (the “Memo”)
from President Trump in response to an investigation on the current
levels of U.S. uranium imports and a request from two petitioners
to implement a quota system on the basis of section 232 of the
Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (the “Act”). President Trump determined
that the legitimate national security concerns from the level of
uranium imports did not meet the definitions of section 232 of the
Act. The President shared his concerns regarding current uranium
imports and the domestic uranium mining sector, along with the
Department of Commerce, and determined that a more detailed
analysis of the nuclear fuel supply chain and its national security
considerations is necessary over an additional 90-day review
period.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dennis
Stover, stated, “While not the optimum decision we hoped for, the
required additional 90-day study leaves the door open to new
solutions. It is encouraging that the formation of this new study
committee is driven by presidential agreement with Department of
Commerce: "I agree with the Secretary that the United States
uranium industry faces significant challenges in producing uranium
domestically and this is an issue of national security."
enCore Energy will continue to work towards a
solution to addresses the imbalance facing the U.S. uranium sector
along with the broader nuclear fuel cycle. In 2018, more than 96%
of uranium purchased for US nuclear reactors were from foreign
sources, a figure that is expected to rise further in 2019. Nuclear
power remains an important part of the energy mix and currently
provides around 19% of all electricity generated in the U.S. and
more than 60% of emission-free power, far more than wind and solar
combined.
