Amidst rising demand for nuclear fuel, owners of long-abandoned uranium mines in the US and allied countries are seizing the opportunity to recommence operations. This resurgence is particularly evident in states like Wyoming, Texas, Arizona, and Utah, where at least five US producers are breathing new life into the production of uranium. The revival comes in the aftermath of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, which prompted governments to shun the radioactive element. However, the current market dynamics have reignited interest and investment in uranium mines, signaling a significant shift in the industry's landscape.
