Damn, did not expect mining to be concentrated on so few countries.

Obviously, not every nation has worthwhile uranium deposits. And I guess, some nations might decide to import while that's possible and only dip into their own mineable resources when necessary...?

Still feels, though, like a certain trumpet could decide tomorrow to attack Kazhakstan and completely fuck the uranium supply chain in addition to the oil supply chain.

Which, thinking about it, isn't even too unlikely. He attacked Iran on the pretense of them supposedly building a nuke.
If they were building a nuke, they would likely get uranium from either Kazhakstan or Uzbekistan, since those are pretty much next door.

Oh man, don't show this chart to the guy...

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
