Actually there are well over a hundreds nuclear power stations in the planning stage right now that are going to be built world wide over the next 10 years.
China alone has about 60 on the drawing board.
The reason for this is because they are considered to be a clean way of producing energy.
They'll mainly be replacing coal fired power plants.
The state I live in has the worlds largest uranium mine... Olympic Damn. There are approximately 8 active uranium mines in Australia.
Ironic when you consider the only nuclear power station in Australia is used to produce medical isotopes.
