Critical Analysis of World Uranium Resources


Book Description

The U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration (EIA) joined with the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to analyze the world uranium supply and demand balance. To evaluate short- term primary supply (0-15 years), the analysis focused on Reasonably Assured Resources (RAR), which are resources pro- jected with a high degree of geologic assurance and considered to be economically feasible to mine. Such resources include uranium resources from mines currently in production as well as resources that are in the stages of feasibility or of being permit- ted. Sources of secondary supply for uranium, such as stockpiles and reprocessed fuel, were also examined. To evaluate long- term primary supply, estimates of uranium from unconventional and from undiscovered resources were analyzed.

The ABCs of Environmental Science


Book Description

This book presents an ideal introduction to the science behind the laws and regulations for those who need to know the general scope of environmental science. Written in plain English and without mathematical equations, The ABCs of Environmental Science introduces the basic principles that explain the workings of the earth's environment and the major issues behind environmental headlines. Such issues include air and water pollution, solid and hazardous waste disposal, the impact of an exploding population on available resources, and global warming. The author provides readers with "enough information to discuss any environmental issue, to question anyone proposing solutions to environmental problems, and to start taking actions to save earth from environmental disaster."







Chain Reactions


Book Description

Tracing uranium's past—and how it intersects with our understanding of other radioactive elements—Chain Reactions aims to enlighten readers and refresh our attitudes about the atomic world. Chain Reactions looks at the fascinating, often-forgotten stories that can be found throughout the history of uranium. From glassworks to penny stocks; from medicines to atomic weapons; from something to be feared to a powerful source of energy, this global history explores the scientific narrative of this unique element, but also shines a light on its cultural and social impact. By understanding our nuclear past, we can move beyond the ideological opposition to technologies and encourage a more nuanced dialogue about whether it is feasible—and desirable—to have a genuinely nuclear-powered future.
