THE impending restart of two Japanese nuclear reactors this month and the expectation several new nuclear power plants will come on line in China, India and Russia between now and 2014 is putting the focus on global uranium supplies.

The search is on for high-grade uranium sources ahead of a possible supply shortage in 2014, with Africa, Central Asia and parts of South America all deemed promising. For now, though, the biggest uranium producers are in Kazakhstan, Canada, Australia, Namibia, Niger and Russia.
