Difficulties in Characterizing Uranium
2008-11-03 11:00:00
Uranium, a destructive-but-useful heavy radioactive element, can pose a tough challenge when characterized by analytical techniques. Uranium has three naturally occurring isotopes: U-238, U-235 and U-234. We almost never deal with pure isotopes, but rather identify uranium by the percentage of whi
Elliott Gue: If McCain wins ... mine for value in uranium
2008-10-03 06:00:00
"McCain has been a strong supporter of nuclear power and his energy plan calls for building 45 new nuclear power plants in the US by 2030," observes The Energy Strategist (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2240) explains, "Thus, my pick for a McCain victory is uranium miner Paladin Energy (http://finance.aol.com/quotes/-paladin-energy-ltd/pdn/tor) (Toronto: PDN (http://finance.aol.com/quotes/-paladin-energy-ltd/pdn/tor)).""-MCain's plan would represent by far the most significant build-out of nuclear plants in more than three decades.He has an ultimate goal of building 100 new US reactors. America's 104 existing plants account for about 20% of electricity generation. "The US is not the only country in the world considering a major expansion in nuclear power. Russia, China and China have already committed to a major expansion of their nuclear energy capacity. And nuclear is also enjoying a renaissance in other developed markets such as the UK and Italy.

Iran now has 6,000 centrifuges for uranium
2008-07-26 18:01:00
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that Iran now possesses 6,000 centrifuges, a significant increase in the number of uranium-enriching machines in its nuclear program, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. The new figure is double the 3,000 centrifuges Iran had previously said it was operating in its uranium enrichment plant in Natanz. “Islamic ...

USEC (USU): 'Ben Graham value play' in uranium
2008-06-10 07:00:00
"USEC (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=usu) (NYSE: USU (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=usu)) is the nation's leading supplier of enriched uranium for use in commercial nuclear power plants -- in fact, it is the only supplier," notes value investor Nathan Slaughter (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2085).In- Half-Priced Stocks (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2085), he explains, "Low-enriched uranium is commonly used as fuel in nuclear reactors, and no other company in the U.S. provides it, giving USEC a dominant position in a key niche market.""Its competitive advantage? USEC has the single best competitive advantage there is: zero competition -- at least in the United States. While the firm does have a handful of rivals overseas, it has reaped the benefit of being the lone U.S. supplier. "The company has also been awarded lucrative contracts to perform work for the U.S. Department of Defense. The company also be...
Énergie nucléaire : Les ressources en uranium suffisantes pour au moins 100
2008-06-04 17:00:00
Les réserves d'uranium sont suffisantes pour alimenter encore un siècle au moins le parc mondial de réacteurs, selon une étude publié mardi par l'Agence pour l'énergie nucléaire (AEN). Selon l'étude intitulé "Uranium 2007: ressources, production et demande", les ressources classiques connues récupérables à un coût inférieur à un 130 USD/kg, atteignent 5,5 millions de tonnes, et les resources non découvertes s'élèvent à 10,5 millions de tonnes.
Uranium Enrichment: The Bushes, The Saudis and The Bomb
2008-06-03 16:47:00
by Chris Floyd Did you hear the alarming story about a country led by draconian Muslim religious extremists acquiring enriched uranium for their nuclear plants — plants which could be weaponized anytime in the future, putting weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Sharia law fanatics who repress women, chop off heads and throttle all dissent? What's more, they were given this weapons-grade material by a rogue nation led by a goonish tyrant who gained power only because he was the wastrel son of the former leader. Break out the regime change machinery right away; this evil must be stopped! What's that? No, we're not talking about Iran getting souped-up nukestuff from North Korea. We're talking about George W. Bush's bestowal of enriched uranium on his pals and business partners, the Saudi royals, the most draconian religious tyrants in the world. Harvey Wasserman has the goods at Democracy Now: You know, I'd like to know the insane asylum in which this po...

Top trader targets uranium
2008-05-22 07:00:00
"We're loaded to gills in uranium shares," says Mark Leibovit (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2040), often ranked among the top market timers. In his VRTrader (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2040), he looks at the market and some favorite uranium plays."Another day. Another record for oil prices. Has oil gone parabolic? It is starting to look that way. Meanwhile, the metals are following in oil's footsteps. With oil and metals up sharply, bonds are worried about inflation and dropping."Dollar weakness is contributing to the commodity rally. The dollar was looking for a while like it was on the verge of a larger rally, but recent weakness has shelved any ideas that the dollar bulls (if there are any) were ready to mount a serious charge. "Interest rates are now low enough for the Federal Reserve to pause and take a wait-and-see stance in coming weeks, Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn said.

URANIUM ONE: Suspends Honeymoon uranium mine
2008-05-21 05:51:00
In its quarterly report Uranium One has said that the development of the Honeymoon uranium mine, northwest of Broken Hill, has been suspended until a development partner can be found. Executive vice-president Australia and Asia Greg Cochran is quoted as follows: “What we’re doing is we’ve recognised we need to have a bigger portfolio, and so that, together with sharing some of the cost of development with a partner, has meant that we’re moving in the partner mould. It does mean a postponement of course of what is currently going on at Honeymoon but that’s just until we get through this stage (more…) Related on Uranium Stocks:Aurelian Resources Inc: A Victim of Geo-politics!The Ranger Mine makes a Come BackAurora Energy Resources Inc.

B.C. shuts door on uranium projects
2008-04-26 09:56:00
British Columbia has slapped an official moratorium on uranium exploration and development in the province, reinforcing a long-standing informal ban on the nuclear fuel and dashing the hopes of companies that hoped to take advantage of soaring prices for the commodity. The ban, announced yesterday, makes B.C. a no-go zone for uranium and confirms a moratorium put in place in 1980 by a previous government responding to anti-nuclear sentiment in the province. That moratorium lapsed in 1987 but subsequent governments did not move to update it, as companies focused their exploration campaigns on other metals and because there was a widespread view that uranium production would be unpopular in the province. That changed in recent years, as uranium prices more than doubled and climate change concerns put emissions-free, uranium-fed nuclear power plants in the spotlight. ~ more... ~

FARC Uranium May Be Depleted, But It's Still Nuclear Material
2008-03-28 23:09:00
Let's assume that the 33 kilos of nuclear material discovered last week by Colombian officials allegedly cached by FARC was almost worthless, and represented no real security threat, as suggested by Aaron Mannes in his article "DU Dud." Does that mean we should conclude, as he does, that it represented desperation, ignorance, failure of judgment, or incompetence by the FARC, making FARC either (a) the victim of the scam, no longer feared by the person scamming FARC, or (b) the scammer who would hurt...(read more)
DU Dud: The Silver Lining to FARC?s Uranium
2008-03-28 15:17:00
Colombian police have found 30 kilos (65 lbs.) of depleted uranium (DU). DU is what is left over after natural uranium is enriched. It is less radioactive than natural uranium and consequently useless for building dirty bombs (let alone nuclear weapons.) Tons of the stuff is around and there is virtually no market for DU (certainly not to the tune of $2.5 million a kilo). While the Hollywood scenarios of terrorists dealing in WMD appear to be false, this incident raises interesting questions about...(read more)

FARC Had Uranium
2008-03-27 20:29:00
Sixty-six pounds worth of uranium: Weeks after the dust settled from the Colombian bombs dropped on a clandestine rebel camp in Ecuador, the information found on three laptop computers found in the rubble continues to reverberate in the Andes. On Wednesday, Colombian military officials said that they recovered 66 pounds of uranium that, they say, was acquired by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to make a “dirty bomb.” Colombian Gen. Freddy Padilla tied the uranium to the seized laptops, saying one of the computer files mentions attempts by the FARC to buy uranium, apparently to resell. If you remember, there was a dust up a few weeks back about Columbia putting some FARC big wigs six feet under. When they did that, they found some laptops and grabbed them also. Chavez got his panties in a wad and put some troops on the border, everyone got together and made nice, end of story. Not so quick. Those laptops have lots of information on them and Chavez...
