N2 - As clearly stated by Kushwaha and Patel,1 uranium recovery from seawater is largely a game of economics and scale because of the elevated costs of sorbents and labor. For example, extracting 1 g of uranium requires that 300 tons of seawater be processed. Not to
mention less than 1% of natural uranium is fissile, and therefore the theoretical energy potential is just equivalent to 15~20 kg of dirt-cheap coal.
