How Much Uranium Yellowcake is in Coal versus Nuclear Power?
John Toradze
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Sparton Resources announced that it had successfully produced a small quantity of yellowcake (U3O8) from fly ash from a Chinese coal-fired power plant.
The uranium extraction test work is being conducted by Sparton's processing engineering consulting firm Lyntek Inc of Denver, Colorado, USA. The test to produce yellowcake used 6.1 kg of mixed fly ash produced at the Xiaolongtang power plant. The ash averaged some 0.4 pounds of U308 per tonne of ash (160 parts per million uranium or 0.00016).

Author's Bio: John Toradze is the pen name of a scientist who ran an office in Tbilisi, Georgia for 5 years and traveled widely in Russia the former USSR nations and nearby. I have authored chapters for books published by the West Point terrorism center on asymmetric warfare and methods. I also have publications in epidemic modeling, assay methods, and several patents ranging from robotics to a device for the blind to bioassays. These days my passion is microbiology and curing disease, which grew out of concerns over biological warfare. I think that biological warfare is going to shape the 21st century more than nuclear warfare shaped the 20th. Aside from that, my hobbies are hiking, cycling and orchids. My real job is that of doorman for a cat, who rules my life with an iron paw.
