Uranium: Imports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how much uranium was imported annually since 2010, by country of origin.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The procurement of nuclear fuel, including uranium and enrichment services, is a commercial matter for reactors operators. The Government works closely with these operators to ensure there is a secure and resilient supply for the UK fleet. Uranium enrichment facilities in the UK operate as service providers, enriching uranium that is provided to them by customers. The stockpiles of Uranium held by these companies are a commercial matter and therefore disclosure of these amounts would be at the discretion of these entities.
