👉 app.box.com/s/f7rgsninwhkf…
Fabulous news for #Uranium sector investors.🤠🐂
Main points 🧵 .../2
2) Covers construction and safe operation of new #Nuclear power plants for basically any function that helps to reduce CO2 emissions - generating electricity, industrial heat, district heating, producing hydrogen - as long as construction permit is issued by 2045 🌞🏗️⚛️ .../3
3) Existing EU #Nuclear fleet is also covered in the providing of low-cost financing for upgrades and modifications that will extend reactor operating life to maintain their contribution to climate mitigation, if authorized by 2040.🌞⚛️
.../4
4) The low-cost financing for research and development, demonstration and deployment of new Advanced #Nuclear reactors for innovative electricity generation, ie. #SMR's, is also being provided in the #EU Taxonomy.👨🔬⚛️
.../5
5) In terms of #Nuclear project compliance, they must meet CO2 emissions targets, safe management of waste & natural hazards safety that is in keeping with state-of-the-art technology and practises in use by #EU today, ie. must be Gen III+ or better reactor technology.🦺⚛️🌞.../6
6) #EU Taxonomy plan must still make its way through a series of legal processes, with first being an approval in mid-January which is expected to get required support from member states, then on to EU Parliament. If all goes as expected, shall apply from 1 January 2023.🌞⚛️🤠🐂

📝Dear fellow #Uranium & #Nuclear #energy enthusiasts,🤠
Six weeks ago I explained to U that I will be taking a sabbatical from TwiXtter to focus on pressing family issues👨👩👧👧 and personal needs.👴 However, after a very strong show of your support,🥰 I agreed to a compromise of tweeting out on weekends and chiming in when there was major sector news to cover.⚡️🔔😲 I wasn't expecting that to set off a non-stop stream of huge news items with major implications for Uranium #mining #stocks investors!📰🎆🤠🐂 Who opened the floodgates?🌊 Was that U?🫵😆 I've been putting my sabbatical on hold while trying to keep up!🏃♂️ It's been an amazing journey these past 6 weeks!🧑🚀🚀
😔However, at the moment I'm dealing with a serious health situation for a family member who is in the midst of a protracted period of treatment & recovery that will likely continue into next year.🩻🩺🧑⚕️🏥 I've been juggling my time to try to cover the many competing demands for my attention.🤹♂️ It's been impossible to step away from the incredible tsunami of bullish Nuclear & Uranium action of late😩 but I do need to cut way back on my TwiXtter time🐦💻✂️ and I will be absent altogether from time to time.🧳
To prepare U for my reduced TwiXtter news coverage and unavoidable absences, I gifted U a list of folks U should follow 🎁👾 and websites that U might want to visit for your research.📚🧐 Here they are again.🗒️👇 Turn on Notifications if U want to be notified by TwiXtter when your favourite follows are posting.🔔☑️😀
📝 These are some of the X accounts that I have turned on Notifications for that U might want to follow too.🔔👇 (Please don't take offense if you're not currently on my notification list.🙏)
1)If U are a newbie👶 unfamiliar with #Uranium, a commodity unlike any other with its own unique concepts & terminology such as #U3O8, Conversion, #UF6 & enrichment SWU😖then this Tutorial thread👨🏫 on the #Nuclear fuel cycle♻️⚛️⛏️ may help U to ride the bull wave!🌊🏄🤠🐂🧵👇../2
2) #Uranium is very different from fuels like #coal & #gas that are burned "as is" in #electricity power plants.🏭⚡️ #Nuclear fuel needs to be specially processed and then packaged into fuel rods that are then loaded into reactors to generate #CarbonFree electricity.🌞⚛️⚡️👇../3
3)Mined #Uranium⛏️ is processed into drums of Yellow Cake #U3O8🛢️ that in the West are shipped to plants in Canada, US & France for "Conversion" into a gas form called #UF6, which is then shipped in cylinders to plants in US & Europe for "Enrichment" into #Nuclear fuel⚛️🏭👇.../4
1) U may feel gut-punched🥊 or prayers answered😇 by a #Uranium #mining #stocks pullback📉🎭 but every day now we see surging #Nuclear demand⏫⚛️🏗️ while a new US ban on Russian U🇷🇺🚢⛔️🇺🇸 adds even more need for Western #U3O8 in a deep supply deficit.🗜️⏬⛏️ Here's a thread 4U🧵👇
2)#Uranium is a commodity like no other🧬 with unique terminology such as #U3O8, Conversion, #UF6 & enrichment SWU😖 in a #Nuclear fuel cycle♻️⚛️⛏️ where price signals are now indicating huge incoming bull market waves🌊 that perhaps I can help U prepare to ride !🏄💰🤠🐂🧵👇../3

1) With #Uranium Explorers mobilizing for winter drilling in #Canada's #AthabascaBasin⛏️ it's time⏳ for a thread on how to interpret drill data🗒️ coming soon in news releases.📰 Misunderstanding data can lead to missed opportunities.💰😟 Maybe I can help U get ready!👨🏫🧵👇.../2
2) #Uranium explorers drill rock core samples looking for signs of #U3O8 bearing ore.🧐 Rarely do they hit high-grade on first few attempts.😟 Geologists first look for visual signs in the core samples. Here's a description from pre-discovery 2013 drilling at $NXE's Arrow👇.../3
3) Visual inspection of core samples is just 1 of many steps taken to see if #uranium is found. Presence of radioactivity is best indicator☢️ so all cores are scanned with an instrument called a Hand-held Scintillometer to produce "Scint" CPS tables for each core interval.🗒️.../4
If you've heard about #Uranium soaring past $100 to 16-year highs💯🎇🦻🐦 amidst a global #Nuclear #energy resurgence⤴️⚛️bringing unprecedented U demand⛏️🛒 and wonder how U can invest💵🤔 in U #mining #stocks famous for spectacular gains🎆💰😃 here's a🧵on ways U can play.🤠🐂👇
