Prospecting, uranium

About 20 percent of the nation s electricity is produced by nuclear power plants, which consume uranium. Low-cost uranium for nuclear reactors is currently very plentiful in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Very few nuclear reactors are being built these days, so little exploration for uranium has occurred in recent decades. However, a nuclear revival, whether for electricity or hydrogen, would spur uranium prospecting and might cause uranium prices to escalate in the long term. [Pg.213]

Both these factors, the (in practice) limited number of fuel fabricators and changing national policies, have led some countries to make national self-sufficiency in fuel supply a high priority, calling for the early establishment of uranium prospecting and mining and fuel fabrication. It can also lead to the choice of a power plant type which can be fuelled with natural uranium (HWR or MAGNOX). Fuel fabrication is a fairly easy technology, but its introduction locally for an SMPR is hardly justifiable from an economic point of view. [Pg.54]

The hydrographic network provides an appropriate tool for uranium prospecting under the following conditions water and stream sediment samples must be taken at the same location and assays in water must include uranium content in the dry residue, which appears to be the most suitable and reliable value. [Pg.115]
