Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE American: UEC) announced the appointment of four distinguished national security leaders to its National Security Advisory Council. The council includes former National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Administrator Tom D’Agostino, retired Admiral James F. Caldwell, retired Admiral William K. Lescher, and former NNSA Acting Administrator Neile Miller. D’Agostino and Caldwell will serve as co-chairs. This strategic move supports the company’s expansion into uranium conversion through its subsidiary, United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp., as it seeks to establish a domestic nuclear fuel supply chain to serve U.S. defense and energy needs.
The appointments come at a critical time when the NNSA is seeking a long-term domestic supply of unobligated U.S.-origin uranium and conversion services, while demand for nuclear fuel expands across military and civilian applications. By bringing together two former Navy admirals and two former NNSA leaders with extensive experience in nuclear security, naval propulsion, and federal energy programs, Uranium Energy Corp. is positioning itself as a key player in securing America’s nuclear fuel independence. This matters because it reduces reliance on foreign sources of uranium and conversion services, enhancing national security and supporting the growth of clean nuclear energy.
Uranium Energy Corp. is America’s largest and fastest-growing uranium company, controlling the largest uranium resource base and the most licensed production capacity in the United States, totaling approximately 12 million pounds per year across its Wyoming and South Texas platforms. In Canada, the company controls one of the most extensive land and resource portfolios in the Athabasca Basin, anchored by the Roughrider Project in Saskatchewan. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp., UEC is pursuing domestic refining and conversion capabilities to further strengthen the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain. The company maintains a 100% unhedged uranium strategy, providing full exposure to uranium market fundamentals.
The formation of this council underscores the importance of domestic nuclear fuel infrastructure. As global demand for nuclear energy rises, the U.S. must ensure a reliable supply of uranium and conversion services to fuel both military and civilian reactors. The advisory council’s expertise will guide UEC in navigating the complex regulatory and security landscape of the nuclear fuel cycle.

This development is significant because it highlights the intersection of national security and energy independence. By appointing leaders with deep expertise in nuclear security and naval propulsion, Uranium Energy Corp. is signaling its commitment to building a resilient domestic supply chain. The move also aligns with broader efforts to revitalize the U.S. nuclear industry, which has been challenged by foreign competition and regulatory hurdles.
