Licensed capacity is not output: American production collapsed to almost nothing after 2018 and the whole country produced 260 tU in 2024, against a licensed ISR capacity across all plants of more than 13 million lb U3O8. The EIA publishes capacity and status per plant but withholds production per plant, so no output figure is recorded here.\n",
