Interesting article I read last week about the Canadian company on here (Cameco) doing a big acquisition that some people hope signals a resurgence in nuclear power generation. Here's a snippet of the article:

> A deal by Brookfield Renewable Partners and Cameco Corp. to buy nuclear-services firm Westinghouse Electric Co. is the latest sign of revival in the nuclear-power industry after years of decline.

> The matchup would create something of a Western nuclear powerhouse, pairing a key nuclear-power service provider with the largest publicly traded uranium company and one of the world’s biggest owners of wind and solar projects. The transaction is a bet that nuclear will play an important role in the energy transition away from fossil fuels. Brookfield and Cameco announced the deal Tuesday, saying the total enterprise value for Westinghouse is roughly $7.88 billion.

> Nuclear power has been in retreat globally, with more projects closing than opening. But a push for carbon-free electric power along with nuclear’s ability to produce round-the-clock have prompted a broad rethink of the technology. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also exposed the fragility of the nuclear fuel supply chain, in which Russia is a major player.
