May 10, 2021 - Cameco increases uranium purchases to fulfill contracts
Production at the Cigar Lake uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan, Canada, resumed in late April after the second COVID-19-related shutdown, Cameco said on May 7 when announcing its first quarter 2021 results. The company said its shipments to customers in 2020 were unaffected by the pandemic and it doesn't expect its shipments in 2021 to be materially impacted. However, it expects that it will now have to buy more uranium to meet its supply contracts...

The IAEA lists around 4600 uranium deposits worldwide. 1200 uranium mines are considered "dormant" and fewer than 150 uranium mines are in operation. Since 2011, the uranium price has not been high enough to operate mines profitably. The price of uranium was around $ 2011 per pound in Jan. 60 and $ 2021 per pound in Jan. 30.

Pressures from uranium mining
Even when mining uranium ore, deadly dangers lurk, radioactive radon gas is released and the spoil still contains up to 85 percent of the original radioactivity.
The wind blows the radiant particles from the spoil heaps in all directions.
The rainwater seeps through the heaps and contaminates more and more soil and groundwater ...

Uranium mining in Germany
Environmental degradation and remediation
By and large, the energy transition has been successful since 2011, not because of, but in spite of Angela Merkel's energy policy. Started half-heartedly by politics, badly planned, repeatedly delayed and slowed down, it has developed into a largely independent process.
When the black-and-yellow government reversed its extension after Fukushima, it limited itself to shutting down old reactors and initiating an 11-year-long schedule for the nuclear phase-out, which, while keeping the unreasonable demands of the German nuclear companies low, at the same time unites the German population exposed to the dangers of atomic energy for another decade. The nuclear phase-out was not included in the Basic Law, the atomic factories in Gronau and Lingen, nuclear research and research reactors were excluded from the nuclear phase-out, the Euratom Treaty has not yet been terminated.
Framework conditions for the energy transition were hardly set. Nevertheless, the use of renewable energies has progressed faster than expected, simply because the time was right ...
