Why Centrus Energy’s 53.7% Surge Wasn’t a Coincidence

So what sparked this spike, this burst of optimism amidst an industry that smells like rotten plutonium half the time? Simple: the U.S. government, under Trump’s twisted administration, decided that maybe-just maybe-it would be a good idea to stop sucking at the nuclear teat of foreign powers. Namely, Russia. You see, after sanctions closed that toxic pipeline, the government announced its support for domestic uranium production, hoping to claw its way out of the mess they created. Enter Centrus, ready to expand its operations and possibly become the U.S.’s savior in the world of nuclear enrichment. Funny how a little panic can make money flow like radioactive waste.
