Quantifying #Uranium demand:🧵🛒⚛️⛏️🧮 I see investors using a wide range of figures when it comes to calculating estimates for U demand.↕️ What are the sources of Uranium demand today & in future, apart from what's consumed each year by #Nuclear reactors?🤔 Let's explore!🧑‍🏫../2 Image 2) First let's make sure we understand the terms used to express #Uranium quantities.🤬 #Nuclear fuel requirements are usually quoted as 'metric tonnes of U' => 'MT U' or 'tU' ⚖️ but miners fill drums of yellow cake🛢️ which is #U3O8 that's not pure U so we must convert.🧮../3 Image

Fellow $UEX holders,
After careful review🧐 it appears to me that UNLESS $UEX shareholders vote AGAINST the proposed takeover by #Uranium Energy $UEC on Monday at 10AM, Denison's Superior Proposal will become null & void and the bidding war will grind to a halt.⚔️⛔️ .../2 2) According to the terms of $UEC's Agreement with $UEX, they have 5 business days from August 9th in which to match Denison's Superior Proposal which, correct me if I'm wrong, is by 5PM Vancouver time on Monday, August 15, 5 hours AFTER the 10AM UEX shareholders meeting. .../3

Question 4 U @brandon_munro et al re knock-on effects on WNA #Uranium demand figures from overfeeding by enrichers: WNA quotes U demand at 62,496tU (162.5M lbs #U3O8) per 393,744MW #Nuclear capacity = ~413K lbs/1000MW. AFAI can tell, this figure accounts for a SWU surplus... Image 2) which has led to underfeeding which reduced amount of #Uranium (UF6 & mined #U3O8) required to enrich #Nuclear fuel to achieve the necessary fuel load for each reactor, circa 15% below that which would be needed if there was no SWU surplus. Is that correct?🤔 in other words...
