Uranium Production

The production of uranium concentrate in the United States by FDI affiliates increased in 2006 (see table below). Cameco (Canada) produced a record amount of uranium at its U.S. in situ leach mines, while two other Canadian investors combined their companies and increased their combined production by 233 thousand pounds. The share of U.S. uranium concentrate production by foreign producers declined for the third straight year, as domestic producers increased production faster than foreign direct investors (see figure).
