Nuclear 'granary' gets an upgrade

Uranium, often referred to as the "grain" of nuclear power, is a critical strategic resource and energy mineral. However, production has never met the capacity demands for uranium.

But how do you awaken "dormant uranium mines"? What cutting-edge technologies lie behind this new nuclear "granary"?
