AREVA’s Chief Commercial Officer Ruben Lazo
offers some interesting thoughts and predictions:
“In
two years, there will be very strong demand on the [uranium] market, as
new reactors start operating, and as new contracts with the existing
fleet kick in. …I’m sure that Japan will restart a few reactors this
year, and complete all necessary measures to restart many others in 2013
and 2014.”
and
“Responsible
governments won’t tie the whole industrial and economic development of
their country to a single source of energy,” Lazo said. “Manufacturers
want some predictability in power prices that can’t be provided by gas,
while nuclear is the only energy that can guarantee some price
stability.”
Which is – true – and not often said.
Lazo also says the “nuclear renaissance scenario isn’t there anymore,”
which I’m not sure I agree with – there are 61 reactors under
construction around the world, after all – 65 with the four here - but
that’s okay. He’s providing his views and they’re pretty interesting.
