There is a good Decouple Podcast for background on how the US got to the point where it had outsourced its enrichment and had insufficient centrifuge capacity of its own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrQVGbNk2dE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrQVGbNk2dE The whole saga is politics (the US can build bigger/better; the US can help secure the world by soaking up Russian supply; the US can do it without relying on Uernco). I think the concept of a "minimum SWU/enriched uranium price" is appealing ... at least for Urenco.
