Now (in 2015) the world economically reserves to be mined are approx. 6 000 000 t.
Approx. 40 000 000 t could be a reserve for the distant future and at a higher price.
Extraction of uranium from sea waters may be also a possibility for the future.
Yes, uranium ores are available in many countries.
None. A pellet of uranium contains uranium, not coal.
Uranium is not used at home.
Uranium-235 is found in nature at about 0.7% concentration to uranium-238.
Afghanistan has now no uranium mines.
For the nuclear energy: thorium and plutonium
The majority of nuclear reactors use uranium as nuclear fuel.
Yes, uranium is available in the United States. The country has significant uranium deposits, primarily located in states like Wyoming, New Mexico, and Texas. While domestic production has declined over the years, there are still operational mines and facilities that extract and process uranium for use in nuclear power generation. Additionally, the U.S. imports a substantial portion of its uranium to meet energy needs.
Approx. 70 US $ for 1 kg of nuclear reactor grade uranium doxide (with natural uranium); the enriched uranium is more expensive, depending on enrichment.
1 kg of uranium-235 is equivalent to 24.10ex.6 kWh.
Less and less as the Uranium decays into lead and other elements.... More and more as super-novae explode and fuse elements into Uranium...
On the basis of December 2012 data Australia has 29% of the world's uranium resources – 1.7 million tonnes of uranium.
