⚛️ Inside a Uranium Discovery
Welcome to Nuclear Update. If you spend enough time around nuclear engineers, one question eventually comes up: “Where does all the uranium actually come from?” Not the part where it gets enriched or fabricated or delivered to a reactor, but the part before all of that. The part where someone has to find it. Today I am taking you behind the curtain of how uranium is actually discovered.

In macro, the Fed closed the tightening chapter and markets began positioning for what comes next. Liquidity pressure eased, sentiment reset, and the focus moved away from rate hikes toward slowing growth, a backdrop that keeps policy supportive rather than restrictive. In uranium, draft U.S. defense policy put real money behind nuclear deployment, with $384 million allocated to advanced reactors, $2.1 billion for naval nuclear programs, and the DOE positioned to absorb first-of-a-kind risk for the first 10 new reactors. At the same time, China formally joined the COP28 pledge to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050, reinforcing demand that is planned, funded, and already underway.
⚛️From Feeding the World to Powering It
If you work in or around nuclear, your mental material list probably goes uranium, zirconium, hafnium, maybe a little bit of boron if you’re feeling fancy. Phosphate sounds like it belongs in a farmer’s catalog, not in a conversation about reactors, AI data centers, and grid stability. Yet here we are.

Macro signals strengthened this week as liquidity improved, sentiment reset fast, and markets began pricing a more accommodative Fed. At the same time, uranium fundamentals took a major step forward: Kazakhstan moved to tighten control of global supply, and the United States expanded its push into strategic minerals. Spot may have sat at $76, but the geopolitics did not.

This week almost every signal we track pointed upward. Flows flipped positive, oversold indicators lit up, and policy momentum kept building the foundation for the next leg up.In uranium, the real action finally shifted to where it matters: the term market. Utilities are contracting again (up 30 million pounds in a month), India is moving to lock in USD 2.8 billion in long-term supply, and the Genesis Mission just tied nuclear directly into America’s AI strategy.

This week growth softened, sentiment fell into extreme fear, and the algos dumped risk as the dollar squeezed tighter. It looks shaky, but the setup is classic pre-reset: bad data becomes good news the moment the Fed is forced to step in.In uranium: the U.S. inked a trillion-dollar strategic pact with Saudi Arabia that includes nuclear cooperation, Japan is about to restart the world’s largest nuclear plant (beginning with Units 6 and 7), and Europe formally entered the critical-minerals stockpile race. One of the strongest fundamental weeks of the cycle, even if the tickers pretended otherwise.
⚛️ The Mineral Behind Nuclear Power’s AI Advantage
Today, we’re zooming in on the mineral sitting at the crossroads of nuclear baseload power, AI data centers, and the global battery race.Phosphate powers the future, literally.And yes, I know what you’re thinking: Phosphate? Isn’t that the fertilizer stuff?Let me explain.
