Uranium for Energy Independence Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 1622, also known as the "Uranium Classification Act," aims to designate uranium as a critical mineral in the United States. The bill seeks to recognize the importance of uranium in various industries, including national security, energy production, and medical applications.

By including uranium on the list of critical minerals, the bill aims to prioritize the development and production of domestic uranium resources. This designation would help ensure a stable and secure supply of uranium for the United States, reducing reliance on foreign sources.

In addition to designating uranium as a critical mineral, the bill also includes provisions for streamlining the permitting process for uranium mining and production. This would help facilitate the development of domestic uranium resources and promote economic growth in regions with significant uranium deposits. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1622 seeks to strengthen the United States' position in the global uranium market and enhance national security by ensuring a stable supply of this critical mineral. The bill has garnered bipartisan support and is currently under consideration in Congress.
