Key Takeaways:



• Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:NUCL) has engaged SLR International Corporation as lead permitting manager for the Aurora Uranium Project — the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States, with 32.75M lbs indicated and 4.98M lbs inferred.

• The U.S. imports approximately 95% of the uranium it consumes. Spot uranium is approaching $90/lb as reactor demand evolves alongside AI-driven power infrastructure and a $2.7 billion DOE enrichment expansion.

• Eagle is the first domestic uranium explorer with exclusive Small Modular Reactor technology to list on a U.S. exchange, building an integrated nuclear platform combining fuel supply with reactor deployment.

• The company joined the Uranium Producers of America in March 2026, and its CEO rang the Nasdaq Opening Bell on March 11.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equity-Insider.com News Commentary — The United States produces very little of the uranium it consumes. That's not a forecast — it's the reality that prompted uranium's addition to the U.S. Critical Minerals List and a $2.7 billion DOE commitment to expand domestic enrichment capacity. Spot uranium is approaching $90 per pound as tightening primary supply converges with increasing reactor demand, AI-driven power infrastructure buildouts, and a $12 billion Project Vault strategic stockpile initiative.



Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:NUCL) announced on March 18 that it has engaged SLR International Corporation as the lead permitting manager for the Aurora Uranium Project. Aurora holds 32.75 million pounds of indicated uranium and 4.98 million pounds inferred, making it the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States. SLR's designated team has direct experience with the Bureau of Land Management and Oregon DOGAMI, and the engagement is designed to advance Aurora toward a Pre-Feasibility Study targeted for late 2027. The company is pursuing FAST-41 consideration to potentially accelerate the federal permitting timeline.



Eagle's integrated model pairs domestic uranium resources with exclusive Small Modular Reactor technology — positioning it to potentially own both the fuel supply and the deployment pathway. The company joined the Uranium Producers of America on March 10, and CEO Mark Mukhija rang the Nasdaq Opening Bell on March 11, marking the company's entry into the public markets following its February 2026 NASDAQ listing through a business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II.



Energy Fuels (NYSE:UUUU) — Largest U.S. Uranium Producer Building Western Rare Earth Platform

Energy Fuels operates the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the only fully licensed conventional uranium processing facility in the U.S. The company achieved 99.9% purity dysprosium oxide in late 2025 and plans commercial heavy rare earth production by Q4 2026. Its January 2026 acquisition of Australian Strategic Materials created a vertically integrated Western rare earth platform. Energy Fuels shares increased over 53% in January 2026.



Uranium Royalty Corp. (NASDAQ:UROY) — Royalty and Streaming Exposure Across the Uranium Cycle



Uranium Royalty Corp. provides investors with diversified exposure to uranium through royalties, streams, and physical uranium holdings without the operational risk of mining. The company holds interests in projects across Canada, the U.S., Australia, and Africa, and maintains a physical uranium inventory that benefits directly from spot price appreciation. UROY's capital-light model offers leveraged upside to the uranium price recovery.



BWX Technologies (NYSE:BWXT) — Naval Nuclear Reactors and Advanced Fuel Manufacturing



BWX Technologies designs, manufactures, and services nuclear reactor components and fuel for the U.S. Navy and Department of Energy. The company is the primary supplier of fuel assemblies for U.S. naval reactors and is expanding into commercial nuclear markets, including advanced reactor fuel manufacturing. BWXT's five-year stock return exceeds 164%, reflecting the market's valuation of its position in the U.S. nuclear supply chain.



Nano Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ:NNE) — Micro-Reactor Development for Decentralized Power



Nano Nuclear Energy is developing portable, factory-fabricated micro-reactors designed to provide clean energy in remote locations and industrial applications. The company's ZEUS and ODIN reactor designs target deployment scenarios where grid-scale power is impractical, addressing a growing demand for decentralized nuclear energy solutions. NNE's approach complements the SMR thesis that Eagle Nuclear is pursuing.

The domestic uranium supply chain is moving from policy announcements to permitting and construction. Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:NUCL) now has SLR International leading the permitting at what is the largest conventional U.S. uranium deposit — in a market where the U.S. imports 95% of its fuel, spot prices approach $90, and the government has committed $30 billion to secure supply chains.
