U.S uranium concentrate production 2011-2025

Domestic uranium concentrate production reached 2.1 million pounds in 2025, marking the highest output since 2017 and a threefold increase over 2024 levels. Exploration and development drilling activity also rose during the year to support these extraction efforts. Despite this growth, U.S. origin material accounted for only 7 percent of total deliveries to domestic nuclear plants, with the remainder supplied by foreign sources.
