After my estimate approx. 25 000 tonnes each year.
USA has uranium from national mines or from imports.
how much is 50 centavos in US ?
In the US, a nickel is worth 5 cents.

Sorry, no such US coins exists.
a lot is consumed in 1 year :)
Approx. 125 US $ for 1 kg of unrefined uranium oxide U3O8.
1. Uranium is "burned" in a nuclear power reactor and slowly consumed. 2. Petroleum and methane are of organic origin; uranium not.
Uranium dioxide, nuclear grade, not enriched has a value greater 100 US $/kg.
Approx. 70 US $ for 1 kg of nuclear reactor grade uranium doxide (with natural uranium); the enriched uranium is more expensive, depending on enrichment.
2000000 pounds
Approx. 90 000 US $ for 1 000 kg of unrefined uranium octaoxide (U3O8).
approx. 70 tonnes.
500 billion liters
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).
Uranium is a fuel. It is not like a fossil fuel in that it is not consumed by burning (rapid oxidation) to produce heat.Uranium is consumed by its radioactive decay. This process releases heat which is used, just like a fossil fuel, to make steam to run power plants. It is consumed much more slowly than is fossil fuels, and it does not release carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides and other gases to the atmosphere when it is consumed. It does create an ash, the spent fuel. Spent uranium fuel does not fly into the air the way fossil fuel ash might if not controlled, but it does have to be disposed of. - Since spent uranium fuel is radioactive, making disposal more difficult.
United States has sufficient uranium.
