Fact check time!


1. In 2010, the US imported 92% of uranium purchased by US commercial nuclear reactors (https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=2150).

In 2016, 89% of uranium was imported (https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/index.cfm?page=nuclear_where).

Your statement that "US now has to import uranium since Uranium One" is factually incorrect. The US actually imports slightly less now than when the deal happened. Your use of "now" - suggesting we didn't import uranium before the deal but have to now - is also factually incorrect since imports were over 90% at the time of the deal.

2. By law, Uranium One cannot export uranium to Russia (http://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/facts-uranium-one/).

3. Related side note: while Uranium One produced 20% of domestic uranium in 2010, a report released in Sept 2017 shows that number is now down to 5.9% (http://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/facts-uranium-one/).
