world’s premier scientific research institutions and is c harged with solving problems and
creating solutions at the intersection of energy, critical infrastructure, national security, and the
nuclear fuel cycle.
The mines comprising the Sunday Mine Complex are currently the o nly fully ope rational
conventional uranium/vanadium mines in the United States, thus allowing the ORNL to observe
the mining team and equipment required for a full range of mining operations.
Western appreciates all of the work that the DOE and ORNL have done to advance U.S.
domestic nuclear fuel production and their traveling to the Western Slope of Colorado for this
mine tour. We hope to be able to continue to as sist as solutions are implemen ted to resolve
U.S. nuclear fuel cycle bottlenecks. The Company welcomes support for the U.S. uranium

friendly countries.
