Niger coup sparks concerns about French, EU uranium dependency

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:31:40 GMT

The military coup in Niger is raising fears, especially in France, over its potential impact on the import of uranium to power nuclear plants.Niger supplies 15 percent of France’s uranium needs and accounts for a fifth of the EU’s total uranium imports. Orano, France’s state-controlled nuclear fuel producer, is continuing its activities in Niger and monitoring the situation, a company spokesperson said in a statement emailed to POLITICO, stressing that “our priority is to maintain the safety of our employees in the country.”Energy experts were quick to stress that tensions will not have any immediate impact on France’s needs for uranium as extraction is continuing and, should it stop, existing stocks can cover approximately two years.But the coup in Niger could be a challenge for Europe’s uranium needs in the longer term, just as the continent is trying to phase out dependency on Russia, another top supplier of uranium used in Europe...

Comfy Air

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:31:40 GMT

The payoff was apparent yesterday as low humidity and comfy temps won out through the afternoon. Of course, that was after the severe weather Saturday that produced a brief tornado (EF1, max winds 105mph) on the Foxboro/Easton line, and many other storms that produced downpours and flooding rains. Pretty fitting for the month of July though as it’ll likely go down as the 2nd wettest on record in Boston and Worcester. Fortunately, the nicer weather overall has some staying power over the next few days as low humidity and cooler temps prevail as we end the month of July and start the month of August. The only chance for a passing shower the next few days is today as a few isolated showers/storms bubble up late this afternoon and early this evening. About 10-20% of us will get wet, and even in the locations that do pick up some wet weather, the showers and storms will be brief. Tuesday – Thursday look great. Open the windows and let the fresh air in type evenings the next f...
