Can anyone clarify on this?

Question

Is it true that Uranium and other Nuclear raw material is available in abundance with America? No other country in this world can extract it from the earth or not available with them? That India has to be dependent upon USA for their nuclear reactors?

Answer 1

Yes it is true.

Answer 2

When we call the uranium we call it as enriched uranium. Therefore some important process are carried out in USA to make the uranium use full for atomic plant.It is not that only USA is having uranium. It has the technology to make use of it.

Answer 3

I doubt it's Uranium, there are several areas in the world with very rich deposits. It's most likely enriched Uranium (increased proportion of the fissile 235 isotope needed for nuclear power generation in a conventional plant). There's also not a great deal of limitation on the technology of enrichment; the US, UK, France, Russia, China, India and Pakistan all have the technology to do it up to weapons grade and I'm pretty sure that there are numerous other countries that can do it to a sufficient level for power generation. You've also no doubt heard about Iran. As for India it will likely be due to some treaty signed which states that the US will provide enriched Uranium for power plants if India stops it's own enrichment processes. Probably due to yet more paranoia about nuclear weapons (even though India already has them).
