Uranium Demand: Nuclear Energy Requirements
Why Nuclear Now?
The only carbon-free & scalable source of energy available 24/7/365.
Nuclear energy is a viable and affordable energy source available domestically.
Nuclear energy is the largest source of carbon-free electricity in the United States and protects our air quality by generating electricity without other harmful pollutants.
Domestic resource reduces reliance on foreign producers amid an energy crisis.
What is In-Situ Recovery
“ISR”
Environmentally-responsible and economically superior uranium extraction
- Over 50% of all uranium extraction globally is ISR
- Extraction of uranium in liquid form through injection and recovery wells
- No toxic chemicals used; oxygen injected with water
- Substantial water use savings compared to conventional mining
- Minimal surface disruption, no tailings, no waste piles
- Land and water reverts to original use category once extraction completed
Rare Earth Elements: Growing Support
Canadian Tax Credits
Super Flow Through Tax Credits Program for exploration and development of rare earth element projects.
Permitting Fast Track
Commitments from the federal government to work to critical metals (including rare earth and uranium) project permitting.
Foreign Source Concerns
Increasing demand reliant on foreign sources – US sources necessary as technological demands increase.
