A revival in Japanese demand could provide a major boost for struggling uranium prices. Before the incident Japan's annual uranium demand was approximately 20 million pounds, but have since fallen sharply as only 2 of its 50 nuclear reactors are online. Global demand for uranium is currently about 177 million pounds, according to Cantor Fitzgerald analyst, Rob Chang,

"There's a huge push for the restarts from industry, big electricity users, government and the utilities themselves," said David Sadowski, a Raymond James analyst. "And if you look at recent polls, even people in the towns around the nuclear plants, the ones who would be affected the most, are actually supportive of bringing them back online."
