which is false, Russia is the only country to roughly balance its uranium consumption and its production (around 3-4000 tons/year)
Russia can also dismantle its old nuclear weapons as a source of uranium (in particular enriched!!) and redilute it with U238 for in fact conventional fuel at 4% U235
and moreover, if Russia moderately exploits its Uranium deposits, it would have approximately 10% of world reserves on its soil, roughly equal to Kazakhstan (which completely siphons off its reserves).
Last but not least, Russia has the only plant in the world capable of processing radiant poo from our reactors to extract U238 and residual U235 in the Tomsk / Seversk complex
So Russia is not a straw in the global uranium landscape, neither for production nor for its process.
We should think about it for a nuclearized Nation like ours.
Nuclear power continues in the world
Re: Nuclear continues in the world
I have a (really) naive question. Nuclear requires power plants that are expensive to build, expensive to operate, but normally produce quite cheap electricity all the same because, it seems, of an economical fuel: how is this last particularity to be explained?

Re: Nuclear continues in the world
EPR is expensive, but older plants were at least 5 times cheaper.
A 1 GW reactor produces all year round, at €50/MWh, something of the order of 8000 hours, i.e. 8 MWh x 000 = €000 million
It is therefore amortized in 10 years and grows profit 30 more years.
Nuclear fuel is not very expensive in itself, but few countries produce it and are able to reprocess it, so you have to keep good relations.
The true cost of nuclear will never be paid, it is the dismantling of power plants and the management of waste over a few millennia...
For the worst waste the current best idea is to make deep holes and push the radiant mrd into them. For power stations... it's complicated!!

Re: Nuclear continues in the world
"it is therefore necessary to keep good relations"to keep good radiation?
All in all, that's not what I call a bargain...
Aren't you the one willing to talk about sovereignism?

Re: Nuclear continues in the world
you can do sovereignism with your paper log press, but I'm afraid it's missing a few orders of magnitude.
Nuclear is a component of French sovereignty, although imperfect from various angles.

Re: Nuclear continues in the world
russia supplies us with plenty of gas (not yet!) enriched uranium and prostitutes. There is good business!

Re: Nuclear continues in the world
Remundo, you say, a little lightly:
No, as its builder, I can assure you that it is not designed for that!
Energy sovereignty based on importing all the fuel remains a major drawback, whatever the angle...

Not worth it....

excerpts:
Uranium One and ROSATOM
Uranium One is included in the management network of TENEX (an organization of ROSATOM). Uranium One is responsible for ROSATOM's uranium production outside the Russian Federation and is the world's fourth-largest uranium producer.
In 2016, Uranium One's share of the production from its six Kazakhstan joint ventures was 12.73 million lbs. of U3O8 (4,896 tons of uranium).

Re: Nuclear continues in the world
It's interesting what you bring us here.
So Russia is closely linked to Kasakhstan in the production of Uranium...
Suffice to say that Russia therefore controls a good half of the world's Uranium, as for gas, and almost as for oil.
Huh, the idiots of Macronistes at 19°C in turtlenecks?
