China has recently lifted its ban on building new nuclear power stations in coastal areas. China plans to increase its nuclear capacity from 12 million kilowatts to 40 million kilowatts by 2015. The country hopes to meet at least half of their projected uranium demand through domestic production, and the other half through foreign imports.
In attempts to meet its rapidly growing demand for energy, India has recently secured a deal with Canada which would allow Canadian companies to export uranium to India. India has plans to generate 25 percent of its electricity form nuclear energy by 2050.
