One pound of uranium is worth about 3 million pounds worth of coal or oil. -- James Lovelock
Iran has the technology to produce the highly enriched uranium, which is not automatically meaning nuclear weapon. -- Mohamed ElBaradei
Uranium is the raw material of a power-elite who has taken Mother Earth's every living creature hostage. -- Petra Kelly
Satellite images suggest North Korea is building a light-water reactor and working on uranium enrichment. This is troubling. -- Yukiya Amano
It would be, in fact, very ominous if Iraq were to be able to get weapon-usable material, hydro-plutonium or highly enriched uranium from abroad. -- Mohamed ElBaradei
Encouraging underground uranium mining on the Colorado Plateau um, the federal government was the only purchaser of uranium ore to try to manufacture uh, atomic bombs. -- Tom Udall
In addition, it is very likely that United States action in Iraq caused Iran to open its nuclear facilities for international inspection and suspend its uranium enrichment activities. -- Jim Gerlach
The part of uranium that's fissile - when you hit it with a neutron, it splits in two - is about 0.7%. The reactors we have today are burning that 0.7%. -- Bill Gates
Connection between life and radioactive nuclei is straightforward. No life without tectonic activity, without volcanic activity. And we know very well that geothermal energy is mostly produced by decay of uranium, thorium, and potassium. -- Garik Israelian
They have been saying for a long time that Iraq made an effort to import active uranium, and my colleague demonstrated the other day that they came to the conclusion that it was a fake document that everybody is relying upon. -- Hans Blix
Native people - about two-thirds of the uranium in the United States is on indigenous lands. On a worldwide scale, about 70 percent of the uranium is either in Aboriginal lands in Australia or up in the Subarctic of Canada, where native people are still fighting uranium mining. -- Winona LaDuke
There are better alternatives, ... Australia should be exporting its solar technology, not its uranium. -- Bob Brown
The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. -- George W. Bush
Nuclear power is here to stay, and we need to support a strong domestic uranium industry. -- Michael C. Burgess
The nuclear industry is currently undergoing a rebirth. The uranium market will remain tight for at least the next three years. -- Paul Gray
Here's the way I look at it. President Bush has uranium-tipped bunker busters and I have puns. I think he'll be OK. -- Jon Stewart
The Russian proposal over Iran's uranium enrichment program is considerable, but it has some problems and ambiguities to be clarified in future talks. -- Ali Larijani
If the Iraqi regime is able to produce, buy or steal an amount of highly enriched uranium a little larger than a single softball, [it] could have a nuclear weapon in less than a year. -- George W. Bush
What we know for sure is that metaphor is the raw uranium of poetry, and that an urge to say that one thing is like something else is one of the earliest markers of the poetic spirit, the nascent poet. -- Tony Hoagland
Why should people be afraid that we use a few small pellets of uranium at the nuclear power plant in Bataan? Don't they know that we're surrounded by uranium? We have the world's fourth largest deposits of uranium. Yes, we're all radioactive -- must be the reason why we have so many faith healers! -- Imelda Marcos
There are better alternatives... Australia should be exporting its solar technology, not its uranium. -- Bob Brown
Nuclear power is here to stay, and we need to support a strong domestic uranium industry. -- Michael C. Burgess
Obviously any export of uranium to India could only occur within an appropriate international framework to be negotiated by the commonwealth government. -- Jay Weatherill
Russia is opposed to the proliferation of mass destruction weapons, including nuclear weapons, and in this context we call upon our Iranian friends to abandon the uranium enrichment programme. -- Vladimir Putin
Pakistan has dozens of laboratories and production and storage sites scattered across the country. After developing warheads with highly enriched uranium, it has more recently tried to do the same with more-powerful and compact plutonium. -- Barton Gellman
I think we ultimately ought to look to put all uranium enrichment and fuel reprocessing, if any is done, under multinational control. Those are the two technologies by which nuclear energy can be translated into nuclear weapons programmes. -- John Holdren
With a fourth generation of nuclear power, you can have a technology that will burn more than 99 percent of the energy in the fuel. It would mean that you don't need to mine uranium for the next thousand years. -- James Hansen
At the height of Iraq's clandestine nuclear weapons program, which nearly succeeded in building a bomb in 1991, Tuwaitha incorporated research reactors, uranium mining and enrichment facilities, chemical engineering plants and an explosives fabrication center to build the device that detonates a nuclear core. -- Barton Gellman
Arizona, our beautiful state, was built on mining. Copper is huge here, and now uranium. And then we have the federal government coming in, writing all these rules and regulations and telling us that we can't do this and we can't do that. We need concise, clear answers. -- Jan Brewer
I don't know about you, but I lie awake nights worrying about Canadian uranium. I know these people. I grew up there. You have no idea what they're capable of doing. If Sidney Crosby hadn't scored that goal to win the Olympic gold medal, there's no telling what might have ensued. -- Charles Krauthammer
The nuclear approach I'm involved in is called a traveling-wave reactor, which uses waste uranium for fuel. There's a lot of things that have to go right for that dream to come true - many decades of building demo plants, proving the economics are right. But if it does, you could have cheaper energy with no CO2 emissions. -- Bill Gates
It's official: cyber terror is the new yellowcake uranium. -- Kevin Poulsen
EFR has incredible leverage to the rising uranium price and its projects have massive potential. -- David Talbot
FCU's PLS discovery has quickly become one of the most exciting stories in the uranium sector. -- David Talbot
We will immediately lift the suspension of uranium enrichment and will halt implementation of the Additional Protocol. -- Gholam Reza Aghazadeh
If the nuclear dossier is referred to the U. N. Security Council, Iran will have to resume uranium enrichment. -- Ali Larijani
Well I'm not convinced that expanding uranium mining is in the best interests of the country and the best interests of its environment. -- Peter Garrett
You can guarantee that mining uranium will lead to nuclear waste. You can't guarantee that uranium mining will not lead to nuclear weapons. -- Anthony Albanese
We're sitting in the dark willing to sell our souls for another peppermint with enough uranium to give a terrorist a wet dream. - Diana -- Michael Grant
We do know, with absolute certainty, that [Saddam] is using his procurement system to acquire the equipment he needs in order to enrich uranium to build a nuclear weapon. -- Dick Cheney
Over more than a decade, Iran had moved ahead with its nuclear program. And before the deal, it had installed nearly 20,000 centrifuges that could enrich uranium for a nuclear bomb. -- Barack Obama
The kingdoms of Africa and Mesopotamia, machine gunning your body with depleted uranium, this is the age of microchips and titanium, the dark side of the moon, and contact with aliens. -- Immortal Technique
People went crazy with tulip bulbs. They went crazy with the South Sea Bubble, they went crazy internet stocks, they went crazy with the uranium stocks back when I was first getting started. -- Warren Buffett
