DOE says sale of HALEU will not adversely affect uranium industry

The Department of Energy has determined that the sale, lease, or transfer of up to 750 kilograms of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) per calendar year to support the production of molybdenum-99 will not have an adverse material impact on the domestic uranium mining, conversion, or enrichment industry.

On the same ANS webpage: "Canada moves closer to selecting spent fuel repository site".   A little surprised their present choice is south of Bruce.  Deep borehole drilling for ideal fuel repository location.  I would have guessed somewhere in Manitoba or Saskatchewan.
