Hi,
I have a couple of more questions for all the kind and learned people here.
Are there any (approx) benchmarks for quantifying how much uranium ore (kg) is going to be rquired in order to generate a given amount of electricity over a specific length of time? Let me clarify...
Hypothetically speaking, if I wanted to generate 1000 million watts of power per day (10^9), continuously, over a period of 10,000 years, how much uranium ore (mass, in kg) would I need to dig out of the ground in order to satisfy this demand?
What would be a technical definition or name for this kind of power/weight assessment?
Thanks for any suggestions.
