There is plenty of uranium -- nearly endless amounts of it. It's about the *rate* at which it can supply the demand. Just like 268 gigawatts is a rate, not a quantity of energy, tons of uranium per year is a rate. <BR/><BR/>The nuclear industry needs to acknowledge that currently uranium is used just like a finite resource. It's not until the fuel cycle is closed that it approaches being a renewable source of energy. Some of the key problems are that there not enough reprocessing plants and breeders to even begin supplying the recycled fuel at the needed rate. Furthermore, the current technology needs to be improved so that the fuel cycle can be closed completely. Currently the cycle leaks too much highly radioactive waste.Konrad Roederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827014154620256161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-49056784757892575132008-05-17T15:23:00.000-04:002008-05-17T15:23:00.000-04:00Dash,Wikipedia's articles are written by volunteer...Dash,<BR/>Wikipedia's articles are written by volunteers like you. If you see an error, you can correct it yourself or mark it to be corrected by a volunteer. The discussion page is a place where aspects of the article can be discussed. However, you cannot blame "Wikipedia" for distorting history. Your complaining about it here does not fix it. An equal amount of characters typed will get the fix underway many times.<BR/><BR/>Konrad RoederKonrad Roederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827014154620256161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-69570257278995570272008-05-01T21:51:00.000-04:002008-05-01T21:51:00.000-04:00Speaking of Wikipedia, the nuclear power industry ...Speaking of Wikipedia, the nuclear power industry has to convince everyone that the uranium is not about to run out. 268 gigawatts will need a lot of it, and breeders will take decades to develop. See the Peak Uranium article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_uranium . In particular, if anyone has a decent reference for the cost of uranium from seawater, that would help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-31629346353557000692008-05-01T11:28:00.000-04:002008-05-01T11:28:00.000-04:00Sorry to be off-topic, but this editorial is a wor...Sorry to be off-topic, but this editorial is a worthy read, and should be fun to correct all the errors or mis-information in the editorial.<BR/><BR/>Wikipedia distorts nuclear history<BR/>http://www.rutlandherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080501/OPINION03/805010312/1039/OPINION03Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984796918674421468noreply@blogger.com
