The economically recoverable lithium is enough to replace 328 years of U.S. imports at last year’s level.


Uranium will help build a steady, domestic fuel supply to meet rising global demand for nuclear energy.


The plant features a 345-megawatt (MW) sodium-cooled fast reactor with an integrated molten salt-based energy storage system.
