"The cost of uranium today is 2 to 4% of the cost of electricity. Our analysis of uranium mining costs versus cumulative production in a world with ten times as many LWRs and each LWR operating for 60 years indicates a probable 50% increase in uranium costs. Such a modest increase in uranium costs would not significantly impact nuclear power economics."

That is probably the ONLY good thing about Obama’s latest surrender to Soviet nuclear domination by US giving more nuke warheads.

We will have more Pu239 to re-process into fuel. And I hope we buy THEIR newl;y excess Pu239 as quickly as possible so THEY don’t suddenly have any “excess warheads” that can be sold to convenient client states.

I’d rather we begin Th reactor design ......

Chernobyl gives reason for pause.

More study more delay more grants for academia

Once-through is wasteful. The fact is, after you run out of virgin uranium, you WILL reprocess. Might as well from the start.

Uranium supplies will not limit the expansion of nuclear power in the U.S.

No, that's the Regime's self-assigned responsibility, under the tutelage of their enviro-whacko constituency.
