Nuclear disarmament program could spell the end of uranium mining

Back in 2009, President Obama ordered a measure to help the ailing uranium industry –  to lift the price of uranium.

He ordered a halt to the program to use weapons grade uranium from old nuclear weapons as fuel for copmmercial nuclear reactors.

Now, that program is to be re-started, and with the aim of spreading this use of old military uranium as nuclear fuel – to Russia , and the world – as part of the nuclear disarmament program.

In which case, –  nobody would need new mined uranium!
