He pretended to care for the people of Iraq after he and other presidents before him have killed by the use of weapons, including depleted uranium, and by the blockade which is now more than 12 years old, more than 1 million and 700,000 innocent Iraqis out of a population of 25 million citizens.

Saddam Hussein

This is consistent with our strategy of delineating ore resources for mining and accordingly bodes well for our plans for production of uranium at Dominion in 2007.

Neal Froneman

If it is shown that depleted uranium causes an increase in cancers, then we have got to look at alternative weapon systems and at precautions which could be taken to protect our troops, as well as at how we can clean up the areas where the shells were used.

Bruce George

I saw a clear majority here this morning indicating support for the direction we're taking the party, but the debate will always signal that when we are dealing with things related to uranium or nuclear that there are concerns ? environmental and otherwise ?

Lorne Calvert

The order to resume uranium enrichment has been issued and, in accordance with that, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization has restarted the process.

Javad Vaeedi

We will immediately lift the suspension of uranium enrichment and will halt implementation of the Additional Protocol.

Gholamreza Aghazadeh

According to the presidential order (last week), and to the law passed by the parliament (last year), the order of resumption of uranium enrichment was issued.

Uranium left a deadly legacy on the Navajo Nation, which (Shirley) has called genocide. The tribe is giving up millions of dollars in royalties to keep history from repeating itself.

George Hardeen

No matter how strong and how valid the assurances that China or any other country gives us, once we export uranium it's outside of our control, so we're making the world a dirtier and more dangerous place by exporting uranium.

Brian Lowery

We still want to reach a formula to prove that we will not divert uranium enriched on Iranian soil. We are prepared to hold talks with anyone who has something to say.

Javad Vaeedi

From Iran's point of view the subject of the talks is to remove the suspension of the uranium processing facilities and this must happen within a clear timetable.

Hossein Entezami

Yes, we have injected uranium hexafluoride gas into a limited number of centrifuge machines, but it is even less than is needed for a pilot project.

Gholam Reza Aghazadeh

All our facilities are designed at 68.5 percent capacity factor. If we get imported uranium, we can go up to 90 percent capacity factor. Which means one-fifth of capacity factor can be added without (any) cost.

Sudhinder Thakur

The challenge will be to bring more uranium production online to assure market balance.

Gene Clark

The SISMI had no role in the fabrication of the dossier on the sale of Niger uranium to Saddam Hussein 's regime.

General Nicolo Pollari

The pullback in crude is mostly related to the tentative deal between Russia and Iran on uranium enrichment, and gold is softer mostly for the same reason.

Fergal Smith

The health effects of uranium really haven't been studied since the Manhattan Project (the development of the atomic bomb in the early 1940s). But now there is more interest in the health effects of depleted uranium. People are asking questions now.

Diane Stearns

Those impurities do muck up your centrifuges. It's not a problem if you want 3.5 percent enriched uranium for power plants, but if you go to 90 percent these impurities are a major problem.

Frank Barnaby

When the uranium mining boom crashed in the '80s, it really crashed and there wasn't much cleanup.

Diane Stearns

With the opportunity opening up of the Chinese market it's providing greater confidence in the market that all the exploration spending going on is actually worthwhile. If it was possible to add more enthusiasm to the whole uranium sector this has done it.

Gavin Wendt

The Russian embassy in Tehran gave to the Iranian side an official note saying that the previous Russian proposal of the creation … of a joint Russian-Iranian company to enrich uranium remains in force.

Foreign Ministry

We can enrich uranium anywhere in Iran, with a vast country.

Aliasghar Soltaniyeh

For me, there is no doubt that the process of producing nuclear fuel in Iran will be accomplished. There is no doubt that we have to carry out uranium enrichment.

Gholamreza Aghazadeh

We're there to help the indigenous people. We're not involved with any government agencies, not involved with the CIA, not involved with uranium mining. Our purpose there is to help the people.

Nita Zelenak

The radon can come from uranium in the ground.

Kelli Gaines

Russia?s proposal to Iran on the creation of a joint venture for uranium enrichment on the Russian territory is on the negotiating table.

Sergei Novikov

The big problem with uranium is that there's a scarcity of supply.

Glyn Lawcock

If [Bush administration officials] were referring to Niger when they were referring to uranium sales from Africa to Iraq ... that information was erroneous and ... they knew about it well ahead of both the publication of the British white paper and the president's State of the Union address, ... Meet the Press.

Joseph Wilson

We have started enriching uranium to the 3.5 percent level.

Gholam Reza Aghazadeh

Those impurities do muck up your centrifuges. It's not a problem if you want 3.5% enriched uranium for power plants, but if you go to 90% these impurities are a major problem.

Frank Barnaby

Uranium is the new gold.

Ric Klusman

The demand for uranium is very strong, and countries are trying to diversify away from oil and coal which contributes to global warming. It appears Australia is happy to sell it to China, or anyone else, so long as they abide by specific guidelines.

David Thurtell

In November, Iran's parliament voted to resume uranium enrichment if the IAEA board referred Iran to the U.N. Security Council. Now, Iran appears ready to resume enrichment work … and thereby precipitate the crisis it was presumably seeking to forestall.

Paul Leventhal

You're going to need uranium for these plants, ... I'm bullish. I think the long-term price of uranium is going to go up.

James Dines

Australia is already fully committed in terms of uranium production through until about 2008, bearing in mind that the signing of this agreement means that this is really only the start of the process.

Ian Macfarlane

Secretary of State Rice made clear in her remarks that the U.S. favors a referral of Iran to the Security Council for sanctions if negotiations fail, ... because the Bush Administration suspects that Irans uranium enrichment program is a nuclear weapons program, but the resistance from Russia and China to vote for sanctions, may undermine a U.S. referral.

Pamela Falk

We've certainly seen an increase in interest in uranium in the Yukon in the last year.

Mike Burke

Walter Pincus

With uranium, it's much easier to put in safeguards to monitor the atmosphere and instruments.

Paul Ingram

I have no doubt that this strategic alliance will lead to the acquisition of more prospective uranium properties in Australia.

Peter Farmer

The United States and Europe have clearly moved away from uranium conversion to set enrichment as the new red line but it's not clear if Russia, the key diplomatic player at this point, buys this.

Mark Fitzpatrick

We have told the (International Atomic Energy) Agency that we are going to inject new initial materials (uranium ore) into the production chain.

Javad Vaidi

The Russian-Iranian basic agreement to establish a joint venture on uranium enrichment on Russian territory is a positive but not final step in the solution to Iran's nuclear program.
