    Nuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
    In response to "LiquidSoapDispen... July 10th entry. Your friend who is the inspector must realize that if there are problems, and they hidden, or not made known to be fixed, the NRC, and or DOE will shut that plant down in a heartbeat. I find it hard to believe that people working for Nuclear plants do not have the fortitude to come forward and speak out about any problem. After 30 years of working for and within a sodium cooled nuclear experimental reactor, the safety was par none. I've never worked in the commercial world, however from everything I've read, and heard they are just as safe. You mention sub-standard parts. Yes, that is a problem, but only if you do not have a good Quality Assurance process, and in order to get a licence to operate a nuclear facility, you have to prove that you have all the necessary conduct of operations in place to operate the facility which includes a good Quality Assurance program. There are teams of people who's main job is to inspect, and audit all the main and sub main functions of a reactor, and their job is to help avoid problems at nuclear reactors and when anything out of specification or compliance, or any problem is found even if it is suspicious in nature those areas or systems are sublect to shutdown and the problem is fixed. If your friend is true to his job as an inspector then he should be reporting these problems. There are whistleblower laws in place to protect him. Reply

    The comment about depleting uranium in 50 to 75 years may be true, however with Sodium Cooled reactors (which have gone away thanks to Jimmy Carter) this problem is solved, because the fuel that is used can also be converted for fuel for Light Water reactors. Yes, there is the Radioactive issue, but as with any enrergy source there is always something, someone won't like,,,,, believe me, the procedures in place for safe nuclear are beyond your comprehension,,, Reply

    Uranium occurs in the ground as UO2, often dilute in other oxides but sometimes pure. If every bit of it within drill range could be brought up and purified, there would be about 200 cubic miles of it; interestingly, this is about the same as all the oil within drill range, regardless of recoverability. The difference is that with today's commercial technology -- no breeders, no recycling -- a cubic mile of UO2 yields 160,000 times more energy than a cubic mile of oil. That means every bit of it *can* be recovered, for much less energy than it will yield, and that in turn means that even though it is not renewable, we will be using much more of it seven generations hence than we are today. Seven generations after *that*, maybe a little more still.

    When you know this, it is unsurprising that in recent years, driven by a uranium price that briefly topped $3 per barrel-of-oil-equivale... prospectors have been finding uranium at about ten times the rate of use.     Reply

    Jason---A great post. Nuclear is safe , clean and cheap. Its the only energy source that can compete with oil and gas.

    I own USU. Up 6% today.     Reply

    Just saw a chart of various sources of energy production here in the US.. It was a 2007 pie-graph and was related to an article on dams. It showed that the US produced about 20 -> 25% of it's energy from nuclear.

    Chernobyl is hardly a reason to avoid nuclear as it was a poorly designed early version power-plant to begin with. As is noted in the prior posts, we do have an effective and safe nuclear capacity.

    Hmm, came to similar conclusions...

    Interestingly, nuclear tends to be left out of energy sector mutual funds and out of alternative energy funds. It's like a pariah. Course it suffers the same problem as oil, and coal. Uranium is an exhaustible resource, and reprocessing fuel from breeder reactors is... politically sensitive.

    So... How many people are killed falling off roofs installing solar panels?

    JS. 1-80% of Frances electricity comes from Nuclear plants run by the Army.No deaths.We run anuclear navy-No deaths.New an better technology avoids prior accidents. How about Coal miners death,yearly

    "...even that killed only 31 people. Almost all nuclear "disasters" end in a handful of people being exposed to radiation..."

    Should we include you in the list of volunteers for the next 31 people?     Reply

    @cameco Jr.: I didn't and do not expect anything from the author. But if you post an article headline 'how to' you either follow up on that promise or you chose another headline. Rest assured I am not going to waste my time on another Mickey-Article now that I know that headline and content might be two different things entirely. Reply

    Fireball, I'll fill you in, but I don't think this is really the appropriate place to discuss. If you drop me an e-mail at amickey@q1publishing.c... I can give you an update.

    fxtrader, do you really think that the author of this article is going to tell you where they're investing based on this thesis? C'mon, please. Follow the bread crumbs that Cameco has left in the junior sector or draw some conclusions of your own. I agree with the thesis of this essay, but surely Hathor is not the best the author can do! I believe that UEX is a potential acquistion, as could be URG or URE. In the exploration sector, who knows but if you figure out where Cameco itself is already invested, that would be a good place to start. Reply
