Can't argue with the 10-12% jump, but the correlation to disarming and USU profits wasn't immediately apparent to me either. My simple understanding of USU is that they make fuel for nuclear power plants. This means either refining mined uranium or recycling weapons grade uranium. I don't think there has been much refining going on because of a glut of weapons grade uranium.

An increase in the amount of weapons grade uranium available does not do anything for the demand for nuclear power plant fuel, but maybe it decreases USU costs for raw materials? Maybe the profit margin is better on recycling versus refining and the recycling supply was running out? Or maybe USU is somehow being subsidized for helping to get rid of weapons grade uranium? IE they make money even if they don't sell the recycled stuff.

I don't have the answers, but it is a interesting stock to follow given their monopoly...
