Good news keep pouring in – major uranium reserve found in Srisailam

More good new keep pouring in and promises of Narendra Modi’s ‘achhe din’ keep getting brighter. The discovery of large reserves of uranium in the forests of Srisailam is like a shot in the arm for the country. The quality of the uranium is believed to be comparable to that of Canada and Australia.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 23 July 2015.

The credit of the discovery goes to city-headquartered Atomic Minerals Directorate (AMD) and Osmania University and this is bound to give a boost to India's plan for a 'strategic uranium reserve'.
The AMD-OU team had carried out research in an area spread over 45 sq km around Srisailam sub-basin of Kadapa super basin in Andhra Pradesh – some portion of the Kadapa super basin extends over to Telangana state.
Making use of the latest equipment to detect the precious radioactive element, the team had zeroed in on Chennakesavula Gutta and Padra villages.
Taking into account earlier finds, officials have now estimated that AP has about five lakh tonnes of uranium reserves. Most of this is in the Kadapa super basin while Telangana has about a lakh tonnes of the nuclear resource. With this latest find, AP and Telangana together will now account for 25 per cent of India's uranium reserves.
