U.S. to restart uranium enrichment, partly with partners in France, says U.S. Energy Secretary

PARIS, Feb 17 (Reuters) - The United States will restart uranium enrichment in the U.S., partly with partners in France, U.S. Secretary for Energy Chris Wright told a conference in Paris on Tuesday.

Last month, French nuclear fuels group Orano was awarded $900 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to help build a uranium enrichment facility in Tennessee.
