Full Description
We are involving ourselves in the current debate about environmentally friendly sources of energy.
In Europe nuclear energy is more and more often celebrated as saving the climate. Clearly, nuclear power plants need uranium. Our aim is to comprehensively illustrate the opportunities and risks posed by nuclear energy, whilst paying particular attention to uranium mining.
Australia has the world’s largest deposits of this resource. We will travel to the “land down under” to exemplify where uranium comes from, where it goes to and what is leftover from it.

Your statement that : "Clearly, nuclear power plants need uranium." is wrong. Uranium is only one of many elements that can be used in fission reactions. For instance, at that ever reliable source ;) see :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Heavy_Water_Reactor
