Yes. UO2 is uranium oxide. It's a processed uranium product used for mixed oxide (MOX) fuel for nuclear reactors. It is relatively safe to handle and store, but the mining and processing of raw uranium as well as the wage byproducts of spent UO2 fuel are very hazzardous.
Yeah but how will the government survive if they can't continuously tax you for a depleting resource, so they can tell you it's so expensive because it's a limited resource?
