Growth of Nuclear Energy to Drive Up Price of Uranium

The Fukushima disaster two years ago was the latest in a series of setbacks for the nuclear energy sector, and concerns over the safety of nuclear power plants are now on the front burner. But nuclear energy is not, as one might assume, on the wane. In fact, there has been relentless growth in the demand for uranium as China, India and Russia press ahead with their nuclear energy ambitions and Japan looks to restart its reactors next year.

Iran’s Newest Warship to Tip Balance of Power in Caspian
The launch of Iran's newest destroyer, the Jamaran-2, brings a new dimension to the naval arms race underway in the Caspian Sea.

Iranian Shadow Over Latin American Terror, Crime
Iran has joined self-declared U.S. enemies in the Western Hemisphere in a bid to undermine the United States, charges U.S. ambassador to Venezuela and Latin America expert Otto Reich, in an exclusive interview with LIGNET.

North Korea: Potential for Conflict Rises After Stealth Bomber Flights
North Korean threats made after two U.S. B-2 stealth bombers flew over South Korea yesterday have raised tensions to a dangerously high level. North Korea placed its rocket units on standby to fire on American bases in South Korea and the Pacific after the B-2 flights.

North Korea's Threat to Re-Start Nuke Plant Is a Bluff
North Korea made a predictable threat today to restart its disabled Yongbyon nuclear reactor in a bid to further ratchet up tensions and force concessions from the international community. LIGNET doubts North Korea will go through with rebuilding this reactor and believes its existing stockpile of up to 12 nuclear weapons is a more serious and immediate threat.

Poland Referendum Could Threaten Euro Ambitions
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s decision to call for a referendum on adopting the euro could easily backfire and push Poland further away from the EU. But can he blame them for their reticence? With every passing day and every new crisis related to the EU’s debt crisis, more Europeans seem to be questioning the wisdom of the common currency.
