Dig Deep The Rise of Small Modular Reactors: Greg Hall Discusses the Future of Nuclear Energy
In this episode we chat to Greg Hall who is the CEO & MD of Alligator Energy, a Australian owned uranium and energy metals project development and exploration group with clear pathways for approval and development through its multi-jurisdictional portfolio in Australia and Italy.
Greg who is a mine engineer by trade has a wealth of experience in uranium and the nuclear fuel sector, working in senior management and in a CEO capacity with a few organisations. Now at the helm of Alligator Energy, he gives us an overview of the company and the project they are involved in plus an update of what happening in the Uranium sector with the spot price steadily rising and more long term contracts being signed.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Alligator Energy is a mid-stage uranium project development and exploration company with a focus on in situ recovery mining.
The company's main project, the SAMFIRE uranium project in South Australia, has a decent-sized resource and is well-positioned for future production.
Alligator Energy is actively expanding its resource base through exploration in the Alligator Rivers region and the Cooper Basin.
The uranium market has seen a recent uptick in activity, driven by increased demand and long-term contracting by nuclear utilities.
BEST MOMENTS
"The reactors now are running at 92 to 93% uptime, and that's an amazing efficiency rate for power generation."
"The long term contract in my utilities has picked up dramatically. That's the key driver of the health of the industry."
"The combination of disciplined supply, the requirement to get approvals in place and new permits, means as the suppliers come on slowly."
"The beauty of small modular reactors is in most countries in the world, they fit well in the grid."
