Uranium One Scandle

Throughout the Obama administration the whitehouse issued and reissued a national emergency notifying Congress that Russia was violating several nuclear treaties and stockpiling large amounts of highly enriched Uranium and Plutonium.  As part of this declaration, Obama continued to supply Russia with Xenon hexafluoride gas used to maufacture  even more highly enriched fissile (bomb-capable) material.  

In this setting Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Robert Muller, Rod Rosenstein, Andrew Weissman helped facilitate a deal with Russia to provide them with 20% of US Uranium production.

On June 8, 2010, Uranium One announced it had signed an agreement that would give “not less than 51%” of the company to JSC Atomredmetzoloto, or ARMZ, the mining arm of Rosatom, the Russian nuclear energy agency.  Uranium One has two licensed mining operations in Wyoming that amount to about “20 percent of the currently licensed uranium in-situ recovery production capacity in the U.S.,” according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  Uranium One also has exploration projects in Arizona, Colorado and Utah.  The deal required multiple approvals by the U.S., beginning with the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (9 member + Cabinet). 

The US is forced to import 90% of its uranium to supply our 99 nuclear reactors.
