Nuclear Energy is the future

Anyways, it's good to see Korea turn pro-nuclear again after years on the opposite side.
also shoot out to pajeets for completing soon their 500MW sodium fast reactor.

There is not enough uranium sadly

No need to mention it.

Uranium is really universal compared to oil. They're found just about anywhere.

Damn... i wish we could do the same lol. Impressive, really.

There’s enough uranium for 5 years if the whole world goes nuclear

Not if we start deploying fast breeders. But anyways it doesn't matter since the whole world isn't going to switch to nuclear.

The japs learned it harder

Sabine states that if we increase the use of U235 we will only have 20 years of reserves left before it runs out and that the cost of Uranium will therefore escalate, making nuclear power excessively expensive. However, mining companies only ever prove up enough reserves of any mineral to keep the mine going long enough to pay off debt or justify future investments, typically around 10 to 15 years at most. This is because it costs a lot of money to prove up reserves. For example, if the world copper reserves as were known in 1980 were truly the only mineable copper that existed then, we would have run out of copper in around 2010. This would have created quite an issue for renewable sources of energy. Luckily, as existing reserves were depleted, explorers found new deposits and then proved up new reserves.

The same arguments apply to Uranium reserves but it is, however, is a special case. Many countries currently have embargoes against uranium mining and exploration and others are shutting down their existing nuclear reactors. This is because of perceived safety concerns that even Sabine demonstrates are baseless. Therefore, there is at present a very limited market and even more limited future for Uranium miners. Few companies are even bothering to explore for Uranium.

If however, nuclear power were recognised world-wide as a viable way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions the demand for Uranium would sky rocket. If just Germany were to change its policy of shutting down existing nuclear power plants, then explorers would begin exploring for Uranium again, future reserves would increase dramatically and competition between new miners would decrease the cost of their product. Uranium is quite common geologically and the world has abundant reserves for millennia to come.

What's sabine ?

Also yeah, France freaked out during the 80s about a possible uranium shortage and it never happened. Also, uranium accounts for basically nothing in the costs of operating a NPP. It's extracting cost could literally increase 10 fold to allow for extraction from less concentrated deposits and power prices from NPPs would still not suffer greatly.
