    Good article Zog.

    This particular part caught my eye "Uranium production. The uranium production landscape has significantly changed since 2007, with Kazakhstan emerging as the global leader in uranium production. The Russian-friendly region mines close to 40% of the world’s uranium, with its major. Kazatomprom is the lowest cost producer in the world and is also the largest uranium producer. Along with a potential IPO in 2018, the Company plans to build a trading arm in order to sway market prices, much like OPEC in the oil industry. This concentration of supply has implications for the uranium industry and prices).

    Russia supplies the lions share of enriched Uranium to the US.
    I don't see the US allowing for that to continue going forward, if they had a means to use existing Uranium sitting in the US right now in the form of Used Nuclear Fuel and at the same time fix it's nuclear supply, waste problems and also proliferation problems without having to purchase one more ounce of Uranium for a very long time, don't people think they will go for that?

    The Russians are also starting to reclaim Uranium from used nuclear fuel as well and they intend to use it in their form of Generation four reactors, the only problem I see in Russia doing this sort of thing compared to the US is that Russia has very few constraints, their safety record is abysmal, just recently they had a nuclear accident which they wouldn't own up to, that was in one of their fuel production plants I believe?

    The US on the other hand has a very good nuclear record, but perhaps they are a bit much over the top with some of their regulations?

    The US has some decisions to make in this area I believe and soon, that's if they still want to remain in the nuclear business as leaders in that field.
