  At present usage rates the high grade ore bodies currently being mined would last around 80 years. If nuclear power went from providing 16% of the world's elecricity to 80%, then this reduces to 16 years. This suggests that, if lower grade ores are not effectively available,  nuclear electricity has a limited future. It would also imply that expanding nuclear power is counter-productive in terms of combatting greenhouse gas emissions.
