This is a brief update since the 2017 Annual Report[1] from the Chair, EMD Uranium (Nuclear and Rare Earth) Committee[2]. Some 99 Nuclear power plants in the U.S. remain in operation[3], a few are scheduled for retirement[4], two new reactors are being built in Georgia[5]. Japan is slowly upgrading and re-starting its fleet of nuclear power plants after Fukushima[6]. China is rapidly building some 25 new plants and hundreds more are planned[7], along with financially underwriting the construction of more than 40 projects in joint ventures with other countries[8].

Russia too is building new nuclear plants at home[9], testing a “fast breeder” design that consumes most waste[10]. Russia also is building nuclear plants on behalf of other countries as well, and providing financing[11]. India has turned to nuclear to ramp up electricity production to match population growth rates and is also working on “fast breeder” designs[12]. Other countries are also building nuclear plants funded from a variety of souces[13].

Journal of Geology and Geoscience (JGG) is a multi – disciplinary journal which reflects all the disciplines in geoscientific research from all the earth sciences. It opens a new era for methodological, philosophical and fundamental study of geology. It encourages research on physical, chemical and biological process that occurs within the earth, solar system and all their environments and its components.

The mission of JGG is to advance the geoscience research on all aspects of theoretical, observational, and computational which lead to discover novel methods and to flourish future evolution. It promotes the global community in scientific discover and to widen the applications in geoscience knowledge. It encompasses the interaction between the atmosphere and its parts, study of weather and climate.

All new geological insights include petrology, geochemistry, palaeontology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology, geophysics, geomorphology, hydrogeology, remote sensing and planet geology, mineralogy and environmental geology.
