Uranium: Relationships

Every element and industry that Uranium is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

• Nuclear fission reactors: Uranium is the fuel of almost all fission reactors, but it is a small part of the cost of nuclear power, so reactors keep running through uranium price swings. The risk lies in concentrated supply: Kazakhstan for mining, and Russia for conversion and enrichment. (researched)
• Nuclear fuel transport: Energy flows from uranium to nuclear fuel transport; nuclear fuel transport needs uranium.
• Aerospace and defence: Aerospace and defence depends on uranium.
• Data centres and cloud: Data centres and cloud depends on uranium.
• Hydrofluoric acid: Their prices have moved together.
• Micro energy harvesting: Energy flows from uranium to micro energy harvesting.
• Natural gas: Their prices have moved together.
• Sulphuric acid: Their prices have moved together.
