Russia plans massive boost in uranium production
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
MOSCOW: Russia intends to increase tenfold its investments in prospecting for and mining uranium over the coming two years, the head of Russia's Atomic Energy Agency said on Tuesday.
"In 2007 spending on uranium prospection and extraction will be increased five times, then, in 2008, ten times, passing from 100 million rubles (3,7 million dollars, 2.9 million euros) to 1 billion rubles (37 million dollars, 29 million euros)," agency boss Sergy Kirienko told the Ria-Novosti news agency.
On Monday, the Atomic Energy Agency and Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources signed an agreement confirming the planned spending increase.
"It is not possible to limit developing countries' access to peaceful atomic energy, either from a political or an economic viewpoint," Kirienko said.
Russia announced in July that it was to spend 570 million rubles (21 million dollars, 17 million euros) prospecting for new uranium deposits, in order to fuel nuclear power stations being built both on Russian soil and abroad.
Russia is currently finishing the construction of a nuclear power station at Bouchehr in Iran.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A military jury today convicted a Navy chaplain of a misdemeanor count of disobeying his commanding officer for wearing his uniform while delivering a prayer "in Jesus' name" at an assembly in front of the White House.
"But I had prior written permission to wear my uniform if it was a religious observance, (so) prayers are not a religious observance," Lt. Gordon James Klingenschmitt told WND after the military court-martial recessed for the night.
"Therefore I disobeyed my commanding officer's order not to pray in uniform," he said.
Klingenschmitt, who raised immediate concerns with this superiors when the Navy issued a new order that prayers could only be "non-sectarian," also has alleged he was punished for raising those concerns, and later notifying Congress and President Bush of the situation.

Klingenschmitt told WND that his lawyer rested the case without calling any witnesses, one of whom was scheduled to be former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, because of the Biblical injunction in Isaiah, where the prophecy about Jesus says he "was oppressed and afflicted yet he did not open his mouth."
Klingenschmitt told WND that there is an appeal process that will be pursued, up to the U.S. Supreme Court if needed."
