Oak Ridge Laboratory had a publication years ago in which they said there was more energy in the uranium than there was in the coal that was burned.

This is true even for once through PWR reactors. Then take that number and multiply it by 100x when you use the same uranium in fast breed reactors like the Russians and Chinese will be mass producing in the future. Russia has two commercial fast reactors one has been on the Caspian Sea making power, district heat and desal fresh water since the USSR times. Those two.countries are kicking our butts in reactor tech and we don’t even ha e reprocessing tech anymore so the USA can never use fast reactors.
