Iran seals uranium stockpiles, complicating U.S. transfer plans
Restricted access to uranium stockpiles could affect availability and movement of nuclear material.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Nuclear Fuel, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Nuclear Fuel →Shortage riskThe graph marks LEU nuclear fuel as a critical input to residential electricity with 0.75 dependency strength, so restricted LEU availability or movement can moderately constrain downstream electricity supply, scaled by the 0.6 event severity.

Electricity (residential) →DelaysPower Generation
Residential electricity depends on the Power Generation step, so constrained LEU nuclear fuel availability can curtail or delay the generation process that supplies it.
72% confidenceElectricity (residential) →Prices riseNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane)
Natural gas is a high-strength critical input to residential electricity, so reduced nuclear-fueled generation can shift marginal power demand toward gas-fired supply and lift gas input prices.

Natural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane) →Stands to benefitThe prior electricity-to-gas step implies incremental reliance on pipeline-grade natural gas, and the United States has a 25.71% supply share, making it the largest listed supply-side beneficiary.
46% confidenceNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane) →Stands to benefitHigher natural-gas demand or pricing from substitution into electricity would benefit a major gas supply country, and Russia is listed with a 14.39% supply share.
