(e) Nuclear Fuel Security Program (1) In general In carrying out the Nuclear Fuel Security Program, the Secretary— (A) shall— (i) not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, enter into 2 or more contracts to begin acquiring not less than 100 metric tons per year of LEU by December 31, 2026 (or the earliest operationally feasible date thereafter), to ensure diversity of supply in domestic uranium mining, conversion, enrichment, and deconversion capacity and technologies, including new capacity, among U.S. nuclear energy companies; (ii) not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, enter into 2 or more contracts with members of the consortium to begin acquiring not less than 20 metric tons per year of HALEU by December 31, 2027 (or the earliest operationally feasible date thereafter), from U.S. nuclear energy companies; (iii) utilize only uranium produced, converted, enriched, deconverted, and reduced in— (I) the United States; or (II) if domestic options are not practicable, a country that is an ally or partner of the United States
