The coming nuclear energy crunch
2013-07-02 07:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: As the British and American governments signal their renewed commitments to nuclear power as a clean, abundant source of energy that can fuel high growth economies, a new scientific study of worldwide uranium production warns of an imminent supply gap that will result in spiralling fuel costs in the next decades. The study, based on an analysis of global deposit depletion profiles from past and present uranium mining, forecasts a global uranium mining peak of approximately 58 kilotonnes (kton)...

Thorium nuclear reactor trial begins, could provide cleaner, safer, almost-waste-free energy
2013-07-01 20:32:12| Extremetech
At a test site in Norway, Thor Energy has successfully created a thorium nuclear reactor -- but not in the sense that most people think of when they hear the word thorium. The Norwegians haven't solved the energy crisis and global warming in one fell swoop -- they haven't created a cold fusion thorium reactor. What they have done, though, which is still very cool, is use thorium instead of uranium in a conventional nuclear reactor. In one fell swoop, thorium fuel, which is safer, less messy to clean up, and not prone to nuclear weapons proliferation, could quench the complaints of nuclear power critics everywhere.
