            <description><![CDATA[The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that global uranium production is increasing, to meet the rising demand from the nuclear energy sector. However, for the longer term, it is necessary for new projects to be developed and come on stream. These findings are in 'Uranium 2026: Resources, Production and Demand', a joint report of the IAEA and the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. Worldwide, on January 1, 2025 there had been 418 commercial nuclear reactors in operation, with a total generating capacity of 378 GW(e). Fuelling these required some 64 500 tons of uranium (tU) a year (tU/y). There were another 23 reactors, with a total capacity of 19.7 GW(e), in a state of suspended operation.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mineral processing equipment specialist Metso has launched a breakthrough innovation in coarse particle flotation, Sampo Cell, that enhances recovery of coarse particles without compromising fine particle recovery, helping mining companies improve the efficiency, profitability, and sustainability of their operations. 

“Mining companies are under increasing pressure to process more complex ores, improve recovery and reduce their environmental footprint. The Sampo Cell represents a significant leap forward in flotation technology. By expanding the recoverable particle size range and simplifying coarse particle flotation, customers can unlock additional value from existing operations,” says Metso separation senior VP Teemu Kaarniemi. ]]></description>
