The new national monument

 

We can probably get our uranium (if we need it), from other places. President Biden has designated an area around the Grand Canyon as a new national monument to protect the area against uranium mining.

Biden announces a new national monument near the Grand Canyon

"The monument is dubbed the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni — Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument in Arizona. "Baaj nwaavjo" translates to "where Indigenous people roam" in the Havasupai language, and "i’tah kukveni" translates to "our ancestral footprints" in the Hopi language, the White House said. ...

The designation would limit mining near the Grand Canyon, but valid existing mining claims will not be affected, a senior administration official told reporters on a media call."
Here's a good map of the boundaries of the new national monument.
