Hey, now!
This is officially either the greatest or worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. I'm going with the former.

By 2552, the UNSC was running low on high-yield thermonuclear devices. Not only were they expensive, it was increasingly difficult to find a sufficient amount of uranium to build more of them and also keep up with the Navy's demand.
Fussion bombs use uranium? I thought only fission bombs used that?
Actually, in my understanding, most of the energy in many fusion bombs comes from a tertiary stage fission blast of "cheap" U-238 triggered by high-energy neutrons from the fusion blast. Or something like that.
Surly it can't be that much uranium?
The unsc still had a few planets left, they must have been able to mine some uranium?
Easier said then done. They'd have to first look for deposits, find them, transport equipment to get it out, transport it back, etc. All very difficult to do on the best of days, but at the time it probably would be better to use those resources on other endeavors.
