Uranium mining operations have high impacts on environment and society, and can lead to deterioration of health of workers and communities. Uranium mining activities are increasing in Africa, where mining is not always strictly regulated and controlled. Mitigation of negative impacts from...

We examine a recent innovation in the highly volatile and illiquid uranium market, The Global X Uranium Exchange-Traded Fund (URA), and its impact on the trading characteristics of constituent and non-constituent stocks. Over a three-month period, following the introduction of URA, we find...

For evaluating the commodity market there are many different indicators. Many investors use the current level to buy gold and silver. After all, the two key note precious metals at the lowest level since 2010 - at least in dollar terms. The international bullion dealers have looked forward to...

Novel methodologies for classifying scientific articles related to the nuclear fuel cycle have been developed using machine learning to discover declarable activities under the additional protocol of the International Atomic Energy Agency. In this study, the relationships between articles and...

The release of uranium from uranium tailings into the aqueous environment is a complex process controlled by a series of interacting geochemical reactions. In this paper, uranium tailings from a uranium tailings pond in southern China were collected at different depths by means of borehole...

Four solutions with different isotopic composition were prepared as samples for the NUSIMEP-5 comparison exercise. Each contained uranium (5 ppb), two in addition Pu and two Cs in low amounts in a 1 % saline solution. The uranium isotopic abundances were certified at IRMM on 4 individual UF6...

Although plutonium has been studied by different disciplines (such as technology and innovation studies, political sciences) since its discovery, back in 1940 at the University of California (Berkeley), the resource and environmental economic literature is still relatively scarce; neither does the...

The Governing Uranium project is a global research effort studying the implications of a changing uranium market, specifically the production, processing and transport of uranium ore concentrates (UOC), commonly referred to as "yellowcake". In total, 15 uranium producing and consuming countries...

The increase of the use of atomic power in some emerging economies, in particular South Korea and China, has revitalized a discussion regarding the availability of uranium resources. Despite the fact that global uranium resources are more than sufficient to supply reactor-related demand for the...
