Compared to electricity generated by burning fossil fuels, nuclear energy is clean. Nuclear power plants produce no air pollution or carbon dioxide but a small amount of emissions result from processing the uranium that is used in nuclear reactors. Like all industrial processes, nuclear power generat...

(Fig. 1.4). Uranium-235, an isotope of uranium, is the most commonly used element in industrial nuclear power generators. The development of nuclear energy is majorly found in few countries like the United States, China, Russia, and Australia (WCA, 2005; WEC, 2016).Fig. 1.5shows the ...
The EU and Western countries are major consumers of energy, and their nuclear power infrastructure is a cornerstone of their efforts to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. With nuclear power offering a low-carbon energy option, securing a stable supply of uranium is vital to maintai...
“This is the biggest moment for nuclear energy since the dawn of the atomic age.” - Maria Korsnick, President & CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute, 2023 Nuclear Energy Assembly. The investment case for uranium is nothing new. It has been around fo
Nuclear energy is often considered a clean nonrenewable energy source in terms of emissions. 从二氧化碳排放量的角度来看,核能常被认为是一种清洁的、不可再生能源。 From an emission standpoint nuclear energy is more environmentally friendly than coal, oil or gas. ...

Uranium, meanwhile, is also set to benefit, as a rise in nuclear power would lead to higher demand for the nuclear fuel. Restarting nuclear reactors, such asConstellation’s Three Mile Island Unit 1, and building new reactors would translate into additional demand for uranium, said UxC’s Hin...
“The removal of Russia from the global nuclear fuel chain has the potential to be a source of disruption and price volatility,” Berenberg analysts wrote in a report. In August, the world’s biggest uranium miner Kazatomprom raised its 2024 output target on expectations of greater demand for ...
