Second-quarter 2020

EIA could not publicly release data for U.S. production of uranium concentrate (U3O8) in the second quarter of 2020. Domestic uranium production has declined considerably in recent years, and activity did not reach a threshold where a specific production figure could be published without violating the protections that EIA has committed to provide.

During the second quarter of 2020, five U.S. uranium facilities produced uranium, one more than in the first quarter of 2020.
