Uranium for Energy Independence Act of 2025

The Uranium for Energy Independence Act of 2025 aims to formally classify uranium as a critical mineral. This legislation specifically dictates that uranium is to be considered part of the 2022 final list of critical minerals, as published by the United States Geological Survey, and treated as if it were included from the original publication date. Moreover, the bill mandates that uranium must be included on every subsequent list of critical minerals. This designation is made explicitly, overriding any existing federal laws, regulations, or Executive orders that might otherwise exclude fuel minerals from the definition of a critical mineral.
