Uranium producer Encore Energy said on Tuesday (5 March) it expects to deliver the first shipment of yellowcake from its restarted Rosita central processing plant in South Texas next week.
Yellowcake, or U3O8, is a type of uranium concentrate powder used to produce fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Encore is one of a number of mining companies that have restarted operations as the price of nuclear fuel have increased, driven by renewed interest in nuclear energy.
