Reply to comment by Tom__mm in [OC] Biggest uranium companies in the world by giteam
Yup, just started some work with DTE to complete remediation and closure of another mine. Concentrations of uranium in groundwater are high enough that it is economical to extract the uranium from the water . . .
It's not low demand so much as it is that the uranium deposits are harder to mine in the US (think 1000s ft deep underground mines vs. open pits) and less subsizied so that they cannot compete with cheaper imports from more accessible deposits and countries with more subsidies/lower labour's costs.
