CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, May 28, 2026 /CNW/ - Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE:UEC), the ("Company" or "UEC") is pleased to announce the appointment of Bradley Williams as Vice President of Government Affairs. The addition of Mr. Williams supports UEC's vision of establishing the Company as the U.S. leader at the front-end of the nuclear fuel cycle and deepens its presence in Washington, D.C.

Amir Adnani, President and CEO, stated:

"We are delighted to welcome Brad to the UEC team at a time of transformational growth for the Company. Nuclear energy is increasingly recognized as a critical pillar of the Administration's energy and national security agenda. We are proud to be positioned at the center of that effort."

"As we continue to advance our vision of becoming the American national champion at the front-end of the nuclear fuel cycle, we recognize that these ambitions require a strong and sustained presence in Washington, including effective engagement with both the Administration and Congress."

"Brad is uniquely suited to help lead this effort. We are confident he will strengthen our government engagement and advance our strategic priorities."

Mr. Williams brings 18 years of nuclear technology and energy policy experience spanning the Department of Energy, National Labs and the United States Congress. Most recently, he served as a senior policy advisor and lead for energy policy and strategic analysis at the Idaho National Laboratory where he significantly contributed to advancing domestic nuclear energy policy, including by leading the development of the U.S. Department of Energy's nuclear fuel cycle and waste management strategy.

Mr. Williams began his Senate tenure in 2020, after being selected as the American Nuclear Society's Glenn T. Seaborg Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow, where he supported then Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY) on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. He then moved to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, as a detailee from Idaho National Laboratory, where he oversaw the Committee's nuclear energy and science policy portfolios for Ranking Member Barrasso. During his four years in the Senate, he played a central role in developing and advancing landmark nuclear legislation, including the ADVANCE Act, the Prohibiting Russian Uranium Act and the related Nuclear Fuel Security Act, to expand America's mining, conversion and enrichment capacity.

Before joining Idaho National Laboratory, Mr. Williams spent 12 years with the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy, culminating as senior advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy where he developed the Office of Nuclear Energy's strategic plan, spearheaded efforts to prevent the premature retirement of nuclear power plants and formulated the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear program, among other key initiatives. Earlier in his career at the Department, Mr. Williams stewarded efforts to establish the Accident Tolerant Fuels program and optimize the Nuclear Energy University Programs. He also spent time as the Acting Assistant Manager for Research and Development at the Department of Energy's Idaho Operations Office.
