#1 India: 'Massive' uranium find in Indian state
BBC ^ | July 19 2011 | BBC
India's southern state of Andhra Pradesh may have one of the largest reserves of uranium in the world, the country's chief nuclear officer says.
Studies show Tummalapalle in Kadapa district has a reserve of 150,000 tonnes of the mineral, Atomic Energy Commission chief S Banerjee said.
India has estimated reserves of about 175,000 tonnes of uranium. ... Mr Banerjee said that studies at Tummalapalle have shown that the area "had a confirmed reserve of 49,000 tonnes and recent surveys indicate that this figure could go up even threefold" and become one of the world's largest uranium reserves.
And then silence.

#2 The Market for the One Energy Source That’s a Menace to Civilization Is Absolutely Mind-Boggling
By Armin Rosen, November 08, 2015
Also published by Business Insider
"Uranium isn’t like other commodities for one very simple reason: It’s impossible to vaporize an entire city with a single petroleum- or coal-based weapon that’s smaller than a two-seat car.
What makes uranium so promising as a source of energy is also what makes it a potential menace to civilization.
Uranium is compact, easy to transport, inexpensive [!!], plentiful, and radioactive. A few hundred pounds of uranium can cleanly and cheaply power a civilian nuclear reactor — or it can be used to create an unimaginably powerful weapon.
The material’s trade is governed under a unique international regulatory system, as well as through stringent country-level controls."
