USA has uranium from national mines or from imports.
After my estimate approx. 25 000 tonnes each year.
Very heavy Uranium Isotope. Could also be the designation for a German submarine.
African nations export oil, cotton, diamonds, coffee, cocoa, animals, copper, bauxite, uranium, iron, seafood,and tobacco. The most famous export is diamonds.
Since the Sahel is becoming more and more like a desert, people living there work as subsistence farmers or they herd live stock. Some others work in the iron ore and uranium mines.
No the us is not sinking
United States has sufficient uranium.
Uranium is a solid, not a liquid. So it is sold by weight, not by volume. As of 25 July 2011 Uranium costs US $ 51.50per US pound or US $113 per kilogram of natural uranium in the form of the unrefined uranium oxide (U3O8).
I suppose that Geogia (US) has not uranium production facilities.
The largest reserves of uranium are in Australia.
A list of uranium mines in USA is at the link mentioned.
Disadvantages of uranium: 1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment. 2. Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon.

For natural uranium as the oxide U3O8 the price is now approx. 90 US $/kg.For uranium metal, enriched uranium, uranium dioxide nuclear grade etc. prices are significantly higher.
Approx. 70 US $ for 1 kg of nuclear reactor grade uranium doxide (with natural uranium); the enriched uranium is more expensive, depending on enrichment.
Uranium is the major component of the nuclear fuel in the nuclear energetic reactors. Also United States use uranium for weapons.
Wyoming has the largest uranium ore reserves in the US. The industry was hard-hit in the 1980's. As of 2006, the only active uranium mine in Wyoming in the Smith Ranch-Highland, which is the leading uranium producer in the US.
Approx. 125 US $ for 1 kg of unrefined uranium oxide U3O8.
