History

Historical Context

The U.S. government allocated $18.5 billion for nuclear energy initiatives in 2008, aiming to boost energy independence. This followed the privatization of the United States Enrichment Corporation in 1998 and the establishment of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which shaped the nuclear sector. Recent pro-nuclear policies under Trump reflect ongoing federal support crucial for companies like Centrus Energy in navigating market challenges.
