> Russia has raised funding for uranium exploration nearly sevenfold this year to 6 billion rubles, Deputy Natural Resources Minister Dmitry Tetenkin said. Exploration is under way in Buryatia, Yakutia, the Trans-Baikal Region and the Jewish Autonomous Region, with at least 13 billion rubles planned over the next three years as a uranium shortage is expected.
