Uranium and nuclear power have been controversial for many years, but they remain one of the most important energy sources for the modern world. Despite their negative connotations, they have been used for decades to generate electricity and provide a reliable power source for millions of people. However, they have become increasingly popular because of…
A report released at the World Nuclear Association Annual Symposium last 2021 projects annual growth in nuclear generation capacity of 2.6%, with that particular capacity reaching 615 GWe by 2040. In 2020, primary uranium supply met only 74% of reactor demand. This report follows a pattern of similar papers released every two years or so…
Possibly for the first time in a decade, there is currently a compelling argument for uranium. Uranium suffered a significant setback after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011. The event led to the cancellation of nuclear power expansion plans around the world and made the usage of uranium a hotly debated topic. …
While nuclear power has been thought to be incredibly dangerous to the environment (and it would be if an accident happened), the truth of the matter is that they’re one of the safest, most reliable sources of power today! In fact, nuclear power has the potential to save the planet from the worst effects of…
ISR mining is a type of mining that is done by injecting a solution into the ground and then circulating it back to the surface. This type of mining is used to extract minerals that are in solution, such as copper, uranium, and other metals. ISR mining is a more environmentally friendly type of mining…
Since the Fukushima accident in 2011, uranium prices have declined, forcing many miners to stop or reduce their operations. However, nuclear power’s increasing role in the transition to clean energy and a shortage of supplies could improve the situation for the uranium industry. The Uranium Supply Chain Uranium is found in mines all over the…
Uranium is a naturally occurring element that can be found at low levels throughout the Earth’s crust. It’s a crucial element with uses in the generation of clean energy. In order to be used as fuel for nuclear reactors, uranium must be mined and processed to increase its purity. Let’s discuss what there is to…
Uranium is a naturally occurring element used for centuries to create various products, including pottery, ceramic glazes, and dyes. In the early 1800s, Uranium was discovered to be radioactive, and since then, it has been used in fewer ways, including fuel for nuclear power plants. Uranium is a relatively abundant element found in many parts…
Mining for uranium is no different from mining for gold or other precious metals. The techniques used are essentially the same, whether the ore is very high grade or not. Though uranium is a naturally-occurring element found in a variety of rocks and minerals, a uranium mine must have high levels of the element to…
Uranium is a radioactive chemical element possessing the symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a silvery-white metal in the actinide series of elements. Uranium is found in small amounts in most rocks and even in seawater. However, mining uranium is only economical if large deposits are found. The biggest producers of uranium include…
