# Niger to Return Uranium Stockpile to French Nuclear Firm

Niger has announced its readiness to return the uranium produced by Orano SA at the Somair mine to the French nuclear company. Bloomberg posted on X that this decision comes two months after unidentified attackers staged an assault on the capital, posing a threat to the uranium stockpile. The move is seen as a step towards stabilizing the situation following the security breach. The uranium, crucial for nuclear energy production, is a significant resource for Orano SA, which operates in Niger. The return of the stockpile is expected to restore normal operations and strengthen the relationship between Niger and the French company.
