America produced the first 90 kg enriched uranium

US President Joe Biden announced that the United States independently produced the first 90 kg enriched uranium. According to him, the factory that produced 90 kg of enriched uranium for the first time is in southern Ohio and plans to supply one ton of raw materials for enriched uranium by the end of the year.

360 news base quoted the President of the United States as saying: This plant in southern Ohio has already produced 200 pounds of highly enriched uranium, which is the first high-volume simultaneous production in the United States. “This database has not mentioned the richness of this uranium.

Joe Biden noted that the production of enriched uranium would help the United States reduce its dependence on oil imports.

In February, it was reported that the United States bought $1.2 billion worth of uranium from Russia last year, a new all-time record. Therefore, the figures exceeded more than a decade – in 2010, the US bought uranium worth 1.05 billion dollars.

In November 2023, Russia became the main supplier of uranium to the United States for the first time. Then Washington bought $96 million worth of fuel.
