Philippines Discovers Potential Uranium Source for Nuclear Energy

Researchers in the Philippines have identified a potential source of uranium in the Larap-Paracale mining district in Camarines Norte province. This discovery could provide uranium for the nuclear fuel cycle if further exploration confirms its viability. The Larap-Paracale mining district has been explored since the 1950s. The Philippine Nuclear Research Institute is involved in the research. Manila is moving to establish nuclear power and expand its critical minerals industry.
