Uranium juniors worth another look. . As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information The Nuclear Age began December 2, 1942 at the University of Chicago when Enrico Fermi created a chain reaction in a pile of uranium. Today, there are some 436 nuclear power reactors operating in 30 countries, and nuclear energy provides approximately 15% of the world?s electricity. These 436 reactors, with combined capacity of more than 370 Gigawatts. (One Gigawatt of electrical energy (GWe) equals one billion watts or one thousand megawatts), require 77,000 tonnes of uranium oxide (U3O8) containing 65,500 tonnes of uranium (tU). According to the World Nuclear Association, about 50 power reactors are currently being constructed in 14 countries. In all, there are more than 130 power reactors planned and 250 more proposed. Each GWe of increased capacity will require about 195 tU per year of extra mine production ? three times this for the first fuel load. Let's

Think twice before investing in these places . Investors spend a good deal of time determining the best places to invest, but do you ever wonder which countries are the worst places in the world to invest?

A nuclear powered world
Aug 28, 2009 11:30 EDT
Uranium stocks are cheap, but few new deposits are being discovered or permitted . The electricity needed to succeed in replacing fossil fuels, both for transportation and everyday use, will have to come from nuclear generation. There is simply no other logical alternative.
