七国集团核协议为铀的前景增添了燃料

2023.04.20 毫无疑问,俄乌战争现已经迈入了 “核战争”的范畴。 3月下旬,俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京透露了在白俄罗斯部署战术核武器的计划。白俄罗斯是一个夹在交战双方之间的盟友国家。此举虽是预料之内,但不可避免需要西方做出下一步的决策。 而现在回应已经到来。七国集团近期承诺要结束俄罗斯对原子燃料市场的主导地位。据彭博社 4 月 17 日报道,包括加拿大、法国、日本、英国和美国在内的西方盟友已承诺共同将俄罗斯逐出全球核供应链。 彭博社消息人士称,这一承诺是在日本札幌七国集团会议期间召开的核工业会议上形成的。 英国能源大臣格兰特·沙普斯 (Grant Shapps) […]

Plugging the fossil fuel energy gap with nuclear

The modernization and electrification of our global transportation system will require a change hitherto unprecedented in the history of civilization. Not even the shift from horse and buggy to the crank-start Ford Model T can compete with what it will take to electrify the billion-plus cars on the planet’s roads, and eventually put a complete stop to noxious tailpipe emissions resulting from the combustion of gasoline and diesel fuel, that are poisoning the air we breathe.

For now, thorium is a theoretical solution to our energy dilemma, but it could be much more than that. A concerted effort to develop thorium reactor technology could provide stable, clean, base-load power for millions, something that is not possible with renewables due to the intermittency factor and the current early stages of renewable battery storage technology. It is safer and better for the environment than uranium and can even use radioactive waste as feedstock for the nuclear reaction, thus killing two birds with one stone. The market is not yet ready for thorium, but when it is, a whole new mining sector and supply chain will be born.

The mounting obstacles to battery/ energy metals supply parity

“The adage of ‘if it can’t be grown it must be mined’ serves as a reminder that electric vehicles, transitional energy, and a green economy start with metals. The supply chain for batteries, wind turbines, solar panels, electric motors, transmission lines, 5G — everything that is needed for a Green Economy starts with metals and mining. Demand for these metals, principally lithium, nickel and cobalt on the battery side and copper, uranium and rare earth elements on the energy side is expected to rise rapidly.”
