[ RadSafe ] "Scientific" news - fun

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Dan McCarn,
 
     When the oil, natural gas, coal diminish  significantly in 50 years, 
wonder what the price of Uranium ore will  be.???   Will we be out in the 
field with GM or other meters looking  for Uranium ore???  Will we be looking 
for methane deposits under the ocean  floor or wherever???

I remember discussing the value / price of uranium  with colleagues at a
restaurant in Belarus back in the '90s. I told them  that a kilogram of
natural Uranium was only worth perhaps $25-$30 on the  commercial market.
After I spoke those words, I noticed that the entire  restaurant was totally
hushed and everyone was looking at me.   Apparently even my former Soviet
colleagues had no clue about the actual  value as well as those "others" who
were clearly hanging on every word that  I spoke. Sadly, economic reality
has never been "big" in many parts of the  Former Soviet Union, just as
environmental & scientific reporting has  seldom been accurate in the
European press with the possible exception of  the Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
Later, with renewed production of yellowcake in  Kazakhstan, etc. that
reality is, in part, known. While I lived in Austria,  I also promised never
to reveal the presence of significantly elevated  concentrations of uranium
in Bohemian Massif rocks through a fenster  (Window) in autochthonous rocks
of the Alpine overthrust. Oops... I guess I  just did!
