The US Strategic Uranium Reserve is a program managed by the Department of Energy (DOE) to maintain a stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU) that can be used to fuel nuclear reactors in the event of a national emergency or major disruption to domestic uranium supplies. The reserve is intended to provide a secure and reliable source of HEU to support the operation of critical infrastructure, such as hospitals, military bases, and other facilities that rely on nuclear power.
A supply contract for the US Strategic Uranium Reserve is a legally binding agreement between the DOE and a company or individual that agrees to provide a certain amount of HEU to the reserve. The terms of the contract will specify the quantity of HEU to be supplied, the price at which it will be purchased, and any other conditions or requirements that must be met. The contract may also include provisions for the storage, handling, and transportation of the HEU, as well as any additional services that may be required.
Supply contracts for the US Strategic Uranium Reserve are typically competitively bid, with the DOE selecting the vendor that offers the most favorable terms and conditions. The reserve is maintained at a secure facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and is managed by the Office of Uranium Enrichment within the DOE.
