FILE - In this Monday, Dec. 9, 2013, file photo, a worker decontaminates steel drums containing yellowcake uranium to ensure safe shipment at UR Energy's Lost Creek uranium production facility in Sweetwater County, Wyo. The Trump administration is asking Congress for $1.5 billion over 10 years to build up a U.S. uranium stockpile, saying it wants to break an over-reliance on foreign uranium that undermines U.S. energy security. But some market analysts, Democrats and environmental organizations say the program, which would require congressional approval, is essentially a taxpayer bailout for a few uranium companies that can't compete in the global market.
