, nuclear authorities in China discovered rich uranium deposits at shallow depths below the Earth.
If true, that would put China roughly level with Australia, which is one of the world's most uranium-rich countries. "This world-leading project is a major breakthrough for our country," the China National Nuclear Corporation wrote on its WeChat social media account on Tuesday. Uranium is thought to concentrate mainly in shallow, geophysical stable areas, but some of the largest deposits found by China in recent years are more than 4,920 feet below the surface. The regions in which they were found have experienced large tectonic movements, which long-standing theories would suggest would make the formation of uranium impossible.
