💥 A Nuclear Blast in Africa Generally, the phrase “uranium” and “Africa” brings to mind either Niger, or Namibia, or South Africa (which even had a nuclear bomb for a while). Now their ranks have been joined by a small but proud country of Malawi. 🌐 After eleven years of silence, the first blast has echoed again at the Kayelekera uranium mine in Malawi on November 25, marking the restart of uranium ore production. Uranium in Malawi will now be mined by the Australian company Lotus Resources. 💥 This deposit operated previously from 2009 to 2014, but the Fukushima nuclear accident of 2011 in Japan led Germany — on the other side of the world — to begin dismantling its nuclear plants and effectively kill its nuclear industry. And on yet another side of the world — in Malawi — uranium prices collapsed, and the mine was shut down. For Malawi, this is the country’s largest modern mining project and potentially a key source of foreign currency. Devils Below
