ABSTRACT

All this power has come from uranium. (To use lighter elements would require the harnessing of controlled processes of nuclear fusion; that has not yet been achieved, despite annual spending of $1,000 million on research.) Uranium is found in many places, but America, Australia, Canada, Niger and Russia have the biggest usable reserves. The main producers are America, Australia, Canada, France, Namibia, Niger, Russia, South Africa and Uzbekistan.
