@channelnewsasia: There is about 500 times more uranium in the ocean than in known land reserves. Japanese scientists are trying to harvest it. Using specially developed braided materials to absorb uranium compounds from seawater, the team has recovered about 1kg so far. Researcher Noriaki Seko says reducing costs is the biggest hurdle before the technology can be commercialised. If it can be scaled up, it could help reduce Japan's reliance on imported uranium for nuclear fuel. Watch the full documentary The Nuclear Option. #cnainsider #japan #nuclearenergy

It is a volcanic zone, so resources are abundant.

Japan should think about how to solve the radioactive wastewater disposal problem first instead of how to find uranium in the ocean, Japan had discharged the Fukushima radioactive wastewater to the Pacific Ocean, this Japan action is so not responsible to the world.
