Climbing uranium prices have led to a staking rush in the Elliot Lake area, but government geologists aren't about to invoke the hey-days of the 1950s and 60s.
Uranium accumulates in bone, affects bone metabolism in laboratory animals, and when ingested in drinking water increases urinary excretion of calcium and phosphate, important components in the bone structure.
based research firm in Florida predicted that uranium was poised to rise above $100 per pound this year and according to Weiss Research's Sean Brodrick, Canada is seen as a major supplier of that ore as the demand for nuclear fuel grows amidst an increase in the number of power plants being developed in various countries.
