There are a dozen countries building nuclear power stations who are starting from a similar point. They are importing initial builds that train the local workforce. Granted, 🇷🇺 & 🇨🇳 are the top exporters of these builds but So Korea or 🇨🇦 would be happy build reactors for 🇦🇺.

Re Kazatomprom Earnings. A keen observation by my friend Borja: Even though KAP increased production by 10%, nearly all of that (83% of the increase) went to the Russia-owned JVs. UAE was also a buyer for the first time. He says we should expect these trends to continue. #Uranium #Nuclear

Your comment reminded me of this quote from a retired 🇨🇦 nuclear engineer friend:

I won’t even bother asking why you’ve said that. The fact is 31 countries around the globe have pledged to triple nuclear power by 2050. Nuclear is clean, safe base load power that is exponentially superior to all intermittent forms of power.

(Me: This enables Urenco to enrich #uranium faster. This is ONLY done when there is robust demand as it is a less efficient process which requires more UF6 feedstock -from U3O8)

Amusing that being in the “Show me” State, they want to see operating examples before selecting a reactor type. 😀

Spent #nuclear fuel is recyclable! MOX by Orano is used in 30 reactors in Europe & Japan. All spent fuel in the US is an asset that no one has EVER been harmed by. As w many new technologies MOX costs more than fresh fuel but that can change as #uranium prices rise due to structural supply deficits.

They will, happily, and at a premium, but that presents a new challenge for regulators — how to keep them from using too much power and endangering the residential grid. We’re going to have to both build more capacity and modernize our ancient transmission system.
