The rise in global demand for lithium—spurred mainly by the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles—has triggered expanded mining of the world’s known major caches of lithium. The area, said to be the driest region on earth, has long been a premier source of sodium nitrate, or saltpeter. ESA/CSA/STSCI/NASA.

Fast breeder reactors date back more than half a century, when the global nuclear community thought there wouldn’t be enough uranium fuel available for the nuclear-power industry. Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does. Natural uranium is composed of only 0.7

The study comes against the backdrop of a more than doubling of global lithium prices over the last 6 months. Similarly, larger fluctuations in the global lithium price (from $0 to $25/kg from a baseline of $7.50 If prices do quadruple, it becomes, in principle, economical to extract lithium from sea water. —Jay Whitacre.
