In this presentation, we will be covering a range of topics involving nuclear power. They range from the pros and cons of nuclear power to public concerns, and to exploration, development and production practices and anticipated yellowcake prices.
> We will discuss past and current uranium recovery methods, such as typical in-situ recovery systems practiced in Wyoming and Texas, have a look at typical well-field layouts, drilling, sampling and geophysical logging, both with the old standard logging methods and the new PFN method, which makes radiological equilibrium studies much easier to do these days than in the past. We also will look at the typical designs of processing plants to produce yellowcake.
> We will then discuss the typical concerns still expressed by many anti-nuclear groups and by the media serving them, including:
- various unrealistic expectations they hold,
- various forms of mis-information they believe, and
- various half-truths they circulate.
> With the above as background, we'll summarize current conditions and our expectations on the energy picture over the next 30 years, specifically to generate electricity in the U.S., in terms of both small-and large-scale nuclear plants, and in terms of the future source of nuclear fuel (yellowcake) produced in the U.S. and overseas, and perhaps even from the Moon in the foreseeable future.
