    A California-based start-up’s plans to develop a power plant that can turn nuclear waste into energy just took a big step closer to reality.

    The company, Oklo, got a permit in December to build the next-generation power plant at the Idaho National Laboratory, in Idaho Falls. The lab announced Wednesday that it will also provide Oklo with fuel — the waste products of a nuclear reactor. The Oklo design is for a small plant providing up to 1.5 megawatts of electricity — enough to power about 1,000 homes — which operates like a long-lasting battery, without the need for a team of operators or refueling for 20 years.

    “We’ve been talking for a long time about how fission can convert used nuclear fuel and turn it into energy, so we are very excited that we are a step closer to doing it,” said Oklo co-founder Caroline Cochran.

    Nuclear waste isn’t something you typically think of as in demand. After all, one reason nuclear power is still relatively unpopular is that its byproducts remain radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s understandable that many people balk at the idea of radioactive waste being stored in their communities. This new reactor might help mollify that concern because it consumes that waste.

    Faced with the enormous task of shifting the entire world to cleaner forms of energy, some environmentalists have been saying it’s time to embrace nuclear power. Every scenario presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for keeping the planet from warming more than 1.5 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels, relies on nuclear providing a growing share of our electricity.

    That dream may sound like science fiction (Back to the Future II anyone?) but the Oklo plant design is based on an experimental reactor that ran for 30 years at the Idaho National Laboratory. Other reactors of this general type — fast reactors (so called because the neutrons in their nuclear reaction move faster than the neutrons in conventional power plants) — have operated in other countries, but if Oklo pulls this off, it would be the first fuel-recycling commercial reactor in the United States.

    Oklo still needs to apply for a license from the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission in order to ensure the safety of the new plant. The company plans to submit that application within a month. Depending on how long the regulatory review takes, said Oklo co-founder Jacob DeWitte, the new plant could be operating in Idaho between 2022 and 2025,.

    But Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said he doubts it will be so simple. “These timelines are completely unrealistic,” he said.

    “The only chance they’d have is if they convinced the NRC [Nuclear Regulatory Commission] that they didn’t need to look under the hood because it’s so safe. The NRC shouldn’t cut corners, they need to do a fulsome review,” Lyman said.

    Not everyone is in favor of taking it slowly. There’s an argument to be made that regulators should do shorter reviews for reactors, like this one, which have fewer risks, said John Kotek of the industry group Nuclear Energy Institute. Back in the 1980s, Kotek was a scientist working on safety tests of the fast reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory. Those tests showed that the reactor simply slowed to a stop when operators shut off the cooling systems and walked away. “The physics work in a way that will shut the reaction down,” he said.

    The power plant of the future could run on nuclear waste
    Oklo is just one of several nuclear startups working on advanced reactors. There’s NuScale, building small, modular reactors, Terrestrial aims to have a liquid-salt reactor going before 2030, Bill Gates’ TerraPower is working on a traveling-wave reactor, and then there’s Kairos, X-Energy and many others each with investors betting millions that they’ll be able to find a way to make clean energy safely and cheaply.

    Nexgen, is zo een beetje mijn lastigste in ptf. Die bougeert weinig. Ook al omdat het inderdaad pas over enkele jaren pas echt op gang kan komen. Toch lijkt het een speler waar je niet om heen kan in de Uranium-wereld.
    Het is niet mijn bedoeling om in de toekomst nog meer mezelf te quoten ;-)
    Maar vandaag lijkt NXE wat in te halen :-)
    Gaan boven 1,20 USD.

    Het blijft een markt die ik niet helemaal goed kan overzien, maar voor de “fun” met een klein bedrag ingestapt afgelopen maandag. Het ritje met de raket naar boven zou ik niet willen missen. Maarja, misschien dat die raket nooit of over een aantal jaren pas vertrekt.. of zien jullie dat anders?

    Ur-aandelen stijgen wat wegens een tijdelijke productiebeperking.
    Binnen een maand staan ze weer op het uitgangspunt.

    Not as many people know that we are now nearly 100% reliant on imports of uranium for our nuclear power plants. If nothing changes, over 50% of this uranium may come from state-owned entities in Russia and China in the coming years.”

    “Energy Fuels’ uranium production portfolio stands apart in the U.S., boasting more uranium production facilities, more production capacity, and more in-ground resources than any other uranium producer in the United States”

    Energy Fuels Applauds U.S. Government's Commitment to Reviving and Strengthening U.S. Uranium Mining; Will Host Webcast on April 24
    PR NewswireApril 23, 2020, 9:13 PM GMT+2
    LAKEWOOD, CO, April 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU; TSX: EFR) ("Energy Fuels"), the leading producer of uranium in the United States, applauds the Trump administration and the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Working Group ("NFWG") for developing the Strategy to Restore American Nuclear Energy Leadership. This comprehensive strategy seeks to revive and strengthen U.S. nuclear fuel capabilities, starting with uranium mining, with the goals of supporting U.S. energy and national security, preventing geopolitical adversaries (particularly those in Russia) from using their nuclear capabilities to influence the U.S. and the world, and promoting global non-proliferation objectives and nuclear safety. The report states that "the clear outcome of the Working Group's efforts is confirmation that it is in the nation's national security interests to preserve the assets and investments of the entire U.S. nuclear enterprise and to revitalize the sector to regain U.S. global nuclear leadership."

    Mark S. Chalmers, president and CEO of Energy Fuels stated: "President Trump initiated the most comprehensive review in decades of our nation's nuclear fuel supply chain when he established the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Working Group. By appropriating and implementing the recommendations outlined in this strategy, our nation will take bold and much-needed steps toward reestablishing U.S. nuclear leadership, while protecting our national security. We are extremely pleased that the U.S. government has expressed such a strong commitment to supporting domestic uranium mining and nuclear fuel capabilities. It is our belief that this report is the first step toward reversing a multidecade trend, where the U.S. has ceded global nuclear leadership to Russia, China and other geopolitical challengers."Stating that "the U.S. Government will take bold action to revive and strengthen the uranium mining industry" and "de-risk the fuel cycle" to counter the deliberate actions of state-owned enterprises in Russia, China and elsewhere to degrade U.S. nuclear capabilities, the Strategy to Restore American Nuclear Energy Leadership recommends:

    making direct U.S. government purchases of 17 – 19 million pounds of uranium beginning in 2020 for a strategic uranium reserve (which has already been reflected in the President's fiscal 2021 budget, which contemplates expenditures of $150 million per year over a 10-year period, totaling $1.5 billion, to create this strategic uranium reserve);

    ending the Department of Energy uranium bartering program that has directly competed against domestic uranium miners in the past;

    supporting the Department of Commerce's efforts to extend the Russian Suspension Agreement ("RSA") to prevent dumping of Russian uranium in the U.S., and "the consideration of further lowering the cap on Russian imports under future RSA terms";

    enabling the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to deny imports of fabricated nuclear fuel from Russia; and

    streamlining regulatory reform and land access for uranium.

    The NFWG report goes on to state that, in addition to the commitments above, "[s]ubsequent support will be considered as deemed necessary across a 10-year period …"

    In July 2019, President Trump created the NFWG, which is comprised of several cabinet-level secretaries and other high-ranking government officials, to address the deterioration of the U.S. nuclear fuel industry. Today, U.S. uranium mining is at its lowest level since record keeping began in the 1940s. The only U.S. uranium conversion facility closed in 2017 and is at risk of closing permanently, and the U.S. has no domestically owned uranium enrichment capabilities. State-owned enterprises in Russia, China and their allies are filling the global vacuum left by the U.S., which has ceded leadership in nuclear energy over the past several decades.

    The NFWG report represents the largest U.S. government commitment in decades to support U.S. uranium and nuclear fuel production, and recognizes "the importance of taking focused, deliberate action to prevent the near-term collapse of the domestic uranium mining, milling and conversion industries and the need to support U.S. strategic fuel cycle capabilities." The report recognizes that "the U.S. national security interest is truly integrated with the health of the entire front-end of the nuclear fuel cycle – the United States needs a strong civil nuclear industry to enable national defense." The report recommends taking "immediate actions" directed toward "assur[ing] defense needs," "removing strategic vulnerabilities across the nuclear fuel cycle," and "restoring a world-class workforce."

    In recognizing the malign actions of geopolitical adversaries attempting to increase market share in the U.S. and globally, the report goes on to state that "American companies do not face competition from other international companies – they face competition from State actors." Therefore, the report recommends "leveling the playing field against state-owned enterprises" in the uranium and nuclear fuel sectors.

    Energy Fuels Is the Largest Uranium Miner in the U.S.

    Energy Fuels has been the largest U.S. uranium miner since 2017, and its assets have produced approximately 34% of all uranium produced in the U.S. since 2006. Energy Fuels also holds more uranium production capacity and more permitted uranium resources than any other U.S. company. Based in Lakewood, Colorado, with mines, plants and employees in Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Texas and New Mexico, the Company expects to be a beneficiary of U.S. government actions to support U.S. uranium miners.

    Energy Fuels holds three (3) key U.S. uranium production facilities, including the Nichols Ranch Plant in Wyoming; the Alta Mesa Plant in Texas; and the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the only conventional uranium mill operating in the U.S. today. Energy Fuels was also the largest producer of vanadium in 2019 and is evaluating options to utilize the White Mesa Mill facility to produce rare earth elements. Uranium, vanadium and rare earth elements are identified by the U.S. government as minerals "vital to the Nation's security and economic vitality."

    Chalmers continued: "Energy Fuels is ready to play a significant role in helping the U.S. restore nuclear leadership. We have proven, low-cost uranium mines and constructed production facilities in the western U.S. that can increase uranium production more quickly and on a greater scale than any other U.S. company, making us an obvious candidate to supply U.S. uranium requirements. In addition, Energy Fuels had over 515,000 pounds of finished uranium in inventory at the end of 2019, and we expect to produce another 125,000 to 175,000 pounds of uranium by the end of 2020. Therefore, we will have up to 690,000 pounds of uranum potentially available for sale into the U.S. uranium reserve this year. We believe our industry-leading production capabilities and inventories place Energy Fuels in an unmatched position among U.S. uranium producers. Finally, our record of safety and environmental responsibility is exceptional, and we look forward to putting Americans back to work in this critical clean energy industry

    Het rapport bracht niet de verlangde onmiddellijke acties, waardoor de koersen intraday flink terugvielen gisteren. Desalniettemin staan UUUU en URG toch nog hoger dan 2 dagen terug.
    Het rapport van het ministerie van energie was voorts zeer positief, denk ik, maar zal pas later wat uitwerking kunnen hebben.

    Intussen is de spotprijs boven 33 USD gegaan. Wat het belangrijkste blijft: het aanbod dat de komende jaren zakt...

    Energy Fuels is een flutbedrijfje oftewel een mama-en-papamijntje.

    Na ca 30 jaar ploeteren hebben ze nog nooit winst gemaakt.

    Zelfs als ze subsidie krijgen van Trump kunnen ze nog geen winst maken.

    Het enige wat Trump zou kunnen doen is een voorraad goedkope uranium kopen en opslaan.
    De uraniumprijzen zijn juist zo fors gedaald omdat de USA-regering een grote hoop uranium op de markt gedumpt heeft in de afgelopen jaren.

    Energy Fuels is een bedrijf met inderdaad een historiek van verwatering, verwatering en verwatering.
    Toch ben ik erin belegd, omdat het haast de belangrijkste Amerikaanse speler is.

    Waarom denk je trouwens dat de U-prijs over een maand weer terug naar af gaat?
    Er beweegt echt wel wat in die markt, of net niet door Covid19.

    en toch kan je niet om hen heen in US Uranium-wereld, vind ik.
    tijd zal uitsluitsel brengen.
    sowieso neem ik tussendoor altijd winsten mee als er op korte termijn een hoge stijging is. jammergenoeg zat ik gisteren niet aandachtig te volgen en liet ik een hoge koers liggen. Bedoeling is om komende tijd alvast winsten te nemen. 40 à 50% in een week tijd laat ik nooit liggen.
    Ik wil graag mijn inleg terug en dan doe ik voort in UUUU met 'gratis' geld.
