Despite the revival of interest for nuclear energy there is an increased realization that the oil and gas supplies are finite, the easy accesible uranium is also running out of stock. This leads to enormously high prices and many plans for new uranium mines. But the gathering of uranium is one of the most polluting and dangerous mining activities. Radio active mine disposal pollutes the wide environment of uranium mines, which threatens the biodiversity and health of vast communities.

Profundo tries to get insight in the uraniumproduction chain and the provision and distribution chains of power stations. Profundo tries to get insight in the real costs of nuclear energy, and researches which financial institutions are involved with the financing of new mines and power stations. Profundo also helps the local NGO's with the development of international campaigns, through the financers and clients, to influence the uranium companies.
