Largest licensed US ISR facility (2,116 tU/yr), curtailed since 2016 — Cameco classifies it as suspended and its restart optionality, though EIA quarterly reports small ongoing output (commonly attributed to groundwater-restoration recovery). Coordinates approximate (Converse County).

Coordinates are approximate. Figures are curated from company filings, technical reports and the World Nuclear Association, with a citation per figure; unsourced values are flagged, not hidden. Informational only — not investment advice.
