    I apologise at the outset if this has already been posted on the Uranium thread, however, for those who may not have seen this article which was published in February 2008, here is an excerpt, together with the link:

    Emerging Nuclear Energy Countries
    Briefing Paper # 102

    February 2008

    * Over thirty countries are actively considering embarking upon nuclear power programs.
    * These range from sophisticated economies to developing nations.

    Nuclear power is under serious consideration in over thirty countries which do not currently have it (in a few, not necessarily at government level).
    In Europe: Italy, Albania, Portugal, Norway, Poland, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Ireland, Turkey,
    In the Middle east and North Africa: Iran, Gulf states, Yemen, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Morocco,
    In central and southern Africa: Nigeria, Ghana, Namibia,
    In South America: Chile, Venezuela,
    In central and southern Asia: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh,
    In SE Asia: Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand.

    In all countries governments need to create the environment for investment in nuclear power, including professional regulatory regime, policies on nuclear waste management and decommissioning, and involvement with international non-proliferation and insurance arrangements.

    In different countries, institutional arrangements vary. Usually governments are heavily involved in planning, and in developing countries also financing and operation. As emerging nuclear nations lack a strong cadre of nuclear engineers and scientists, construction is often on a turnkey basis, with the reactor vendor assuming all technical and commercial risks in delivering a functioning plant on time and at a particular price. Alternatively the vendor may be set up a consortium to build, own and operate the plant. As the industry becomes more international, new arrangements are likely, including public-private partnerships.

    Certainly makes me realise that Uranium is more than likely to increase in value over time, IMO.
