both types of radio isotopes: the industrial radio isotops. that we produce here include uridium and cobalt and pharmaceutical ones include lutetium, phosphore and ranium. cobalt and iridium have both pharmaceutical and industrial applications. in medicine, they are used for bracket therapy in which very small needles are planted inside tumors to destroy them. research reactors produce neutrons which are extracted from beam tubes. this can be used in neutron imaging to take pictures from inside the materials. neutron diffraction is another app application of research reactors used to analyze different materials, testing the quality of fuel is one of the special applications of these reactors. now that you have an idea of some of the use cases of this reactor and the process that goes behind the alignment and installation of the standard fuel elements and the control fuel elements, now it's time we take a deeper look at what actually happens inside the core of the reactor once it is activated and the uh control field elements have been uh lifted up uh so you may be thinking to yourself okay

i know if seven year old in the congo had extracted cobalt that was in that battery. and to me like that, just highlight it. every single device we're touching nowadays, most of them are powered by lithium batteries. we just don't know what i mean. watches, laptop batteries, etc. it's so much more than our electric and so i think carbon capture does have a role to play perhaps in lessening the transportation industries on the co2 emission front. but we still have to be thinking about where do we want to get the building blocks for all of these that power our lives? and i don't think we're having those conversations right now. so that was my main thrust with the warbelow and that's what i hope people take away. is this the necessary conversation we need to be having or not having right now? yeah, it's not just change, it's everything else correct. everything else that we're doing. yes. great. that's exhaust my set of questions. so what i'd like to do is turn it over to the audience and, see if anybody has any questions like to ask ernst about about the book. yes, sir s

in fact, it is the origin of the rumor, which is actually cobalt 60. it was very important for gamma rays that we actually made a significant investment and bought this because we have to invest in our current processes to produce cobalt 60 and it is part of our strategic plans. well, you know, when a radioactive source comes, this is the way it is , it loses its activity by itself in the place where it is kept. which we have now with super speed, almost sure, they say super sure , not necessarily fast, so that there are no delays other than avoidable delays, and we can install it cooler, start it up, and let it come into operation . this is a part that it has now. it will be done and i hope that the two or three stations we are working on now , god willing , we will be able to open at least one of them before the end of the year, and the priorities that the ministry of jihad has, which is the immediate priority of potatoes, we can do this and really for people are also a valuable and lasting service but what happened in bandar'ab is a pest called trun

it is actually the source of radiation, which is actually cobalt 60 for gamma rays. it was very important that we actually made a significant investment, we bought this because we have to invest in our current processes to produce cobalt 60 and it is one of our strategic plans. radioactivity comes as it is, where it is kept, it loses its activity by itself. which we have with super speed , almost sure, they say super sure, not necessarily fast , so that there are no delays other than avoidable delays, and we can install thirty of these , start them up, and let them come into the circuit. this is a part that is being done now. and i hope that we can open at least one of these two or three stations that we are working on now, before the end of the year, and those are the priorities of the ministry of jihad. at the moment, the immediate priority is potatoes, we can do this and it is really a valuable service for people. but what happened in bandar abbas is a pest called tankhar's head beetle, which is now a pest that has hit the palm groves and is progressing strongly n

glenn cool uses the asset to extract cobalt from mines. pay just $250.00 and compensation for each child killed. justice is the title of the opera composed by x to a potter. i'm directed by me. know how, of the, the emotional say as a piece as a requiem, to the victims. the how does the idea come about to write an opera about a traffic accident even to 9 this morning with a tele universal story, you have to take something very small, look very closely and then the world opens up both of them. and if there's an accident and bolts of trucks transporting assets crushes into a many bucks in a marketplace in the largest mining region in the world. and then 20 people died very slowly and cruelly long. so it's a major onto logical cries with life and what was that? it's a switch company that's responsible, that's a phone. so since it happened 5 years ago, i know the lawyer is the victims, the bereaved. so it's a mixture of things for most rides that reveals how this well this milva presents, the swelled with the help of a large orchestra and calc

red carpet, a cooperation driven by necessity finance and the reindeer can cross the both on young cobalt field for now. but for how much longer. no one here knows gas problem, employees on site are well aware of the conflicting interest. humans came here and destroyed the unity and harmony of nature of the home. they've opened up new areas to extract in guys from nature's resources that also brings good things, work through the st. louis families and creates many, many jobs in the year 2019 gas from employed. $1200.00 staff at this site alone, middle workers surrogate. the vet came, came here for the 1st time 10 years ago, and i want to be there. i'm sure the guys comes from there seems to be at the source and being involved in the process. the 1st time i was here at the cost wasn't flowing yet, but i was overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of pipes as metal constructions. we thought it was immediately fascinated who was the gas problem eventually began production here in 2012. it's a high security zone, a kind of a russian gold reserve that to go out of gas and oil or like drugs were addic

yeah, and cobalt gas feels the provisional solution on this particular day gas problem. workers role material out over the road. this protects the wouldn't run or is on the end slits. hello. hello, i'm headed a group started. please allow me to confirm and what do you think the big and it wasn't that easy. one of the, some of the animals didn't want to cross it 1st. the look around, it was just like a red carpet, a cooperation driven by necessity finance and the reindeer can cross the both on young cobalt field for now. but for how much longer. no one here knows gas problem, employees on site are well aware of the conflicting interest. humans came here and destroyed the unity and harmony of nature of the time. they've opened up new areas, instructing guys from nature's resources that also brings good things, work through the streets of families and creates many, many jobs in the year 2019 gas from employed. $1200.00 staff at this site alone, middle workers surrogate. the vet came, came here for the 1st time 10 years ago, and i wanted to be there. i'm sure the guys comes from there se

where does the cobalt come from? where does the manganese come from? where does the cobalt come from? we used to mine it here. those mines have been shut down. even if we reopened them and got through the permit reform, we still have to -- we were mining all of those raw mineral that is we need to make a modern economy go. we still have to ship them. not to any country, but mainly to china. so we've got an issue there. and for the refining and then ship them back. so what -- you know, long way of saying or an example of saying, i continue to see as i sit on armed services, intel and foreign affairs, we have these critical choke points to where our greatst adversary can defeat us or deter us before any shooting even starts. if you look at how, i mean, i've got a -- i've got a 2-year-old, by the way god bless my wife. she let me name him army. so go army. i kid you not. with an ie. not a y. if you look at how erected to a formula shortage, right? it was literally people's hair on fire. look at the toilet paper issue under covid. we've become so accustome

-- cobalt in the democratic republic of congo? >> yes, sir. >> you do? >> does the biden administration still insist on having 50% of all of these vehicles manufactured in the united states by 2030 be electric? >> sir, congress sent a very clear signal to the bipartisan infrastructure law that we needed to move much more of this material will. the bill includes $7 billion. >> i am going to ask you. the biden administration wants 50% of the vehicles produced to be bev's by 2030, yes or no? >> yes my. >> what year is and now, sir? >> 2023. >> almost 2024. that gives us six years to meet this goal. all right. we are getting approximately up to $7500 for electric vehicles, correct? >> de facto, this is not a political statement. the united states government is subsidizing child slavery in the democratic republic of congo. i don't care what you say. we've got to get this back on shore and whatnot. that is not the case today. as we speak, there are children in the democratic republic of congo mining cobalt with their hands so that the b

these giant pots contain copper-nickel fonstein - this is a concentrate from which copper, nickel, cobalt and rare-earth metals will later be obtained. in the workshops of the new sulfur project , sulfur dioxide contained in metallurgical gases. production is converted to sulfuric acid. the final product is environmentally neutral gypsum. sulfuric the program is the absolute pride of narilsk. the mill rotates, some other units work, this is part of it. technological process, and the northern program, of course, is impressive in terms of scale, investment, and implementation conditions beyond the arctic circle, in the conditions of the far north. the grain program is the largest project within the federal clean air program. only the first stage of the sulfur program has been launched, emissions have already been noticeably reduced, thanks to the technology, almost all of the harmful gas from the gas plant is captured. we have confirmed efficiency of gas purification of the project. we have reached 99.7%. we also plan to launch the second stage of this workshop in 2024. the project was impl

mine in africa that gives china a real resource in terms of those cobalt, i believe a component in car electric cars that president biden wants to pus us in, hunter's partnership helped the chinese get an inside track on that stuff. that's the kind of thing that you want to be in a deposition like this tracing down. what did they get out of this? >> neil: yeah and how much. normally we talk about something like that in the donald trump administration, you know, getting huge funds from a middle eastern nation. you raise eyebrows. you start saying, all right, how does that happen? it's a different case here. i grant you. the whole appearance of just working off and profiting off of business or political relationships for substantial money, we have seen it so many times, katie. it keeps playing out the same old way. how much of that is impeachable. you guys are the experts. i'm not. at the very least, it makes you feel a little ill. >> oh, absolutely. under the u.s. code in terms of bribery, there doesn't have to by any evidence that joe biden personally received anything of value. could

we also have the drc, the world's largest producer of cobalt and third largest producer of copper. both minerals are critical for clean energy technologies. recently there have been anti-us demonstrations in the democratic republic of congo where protest has accused the us and france of backing rebels and terrorists in the mineral reach eastern part of the country. we are claiming our rights. france and the united states are fostering the war in the eastern drc by supporting the rebellion. a country like rwanda cannot fight against the democratic republic of the congo. we are marching. "we are not breaking or destroying people's property, but the head of the police is sending his officers to chase us away. there is no doubt that western powers are out to plunder these resources and therefore cannot be part of the solution. the united states military command in africa, africom is now seen by many as an imperialist war machine that creates threats before managing the perception of safety. the ultimate objective of africa is advancing the united states'. economic and geostrategic inte

>> yes, sir. >> do you understand that 4.3% of these batteries are comprised of cobalt? >> that sounds right, sir. >> do you understand that 70% of the world's cobalt is mind in the democratic republic of congo? >> yes, sir. >> do you understand that 15 to 30% of the minds of the democratic republic of congo are called artesian minds? >> yes, sir. that's do you understand that he is artesian minds have thousands of children working in the condition of essentially slavery, mining cobalt in the democratic republic of congo? >> yes, sir. >> you do? okay. does the biden administration still insist on having 50% of all of the vehicles manufactured in the united states by 2030 the electrical? >> sir, congress sent a very clear signal in the bipartisan infrastructure lot and the inflation reduction act that we needed to move much more of the materials, on showing, near shoring. the bill includes $7 billion for ev. >> i am going to interrupt you because that is not the question i asked you. i asked you a very specific question. does the biden administration still want 50% of the

we also have the drc, the world's largest producer of cobalt and third largest producer of copper. both minerals are critical for clean. energy technologies: recently there have been anti-us demonstrations in the democratic republic of congo where protesters accused the us and france of bucking rebels and terrorists in the miner rich eastern part of the country. we're claiming our rights, france and the united states are fostering the war in the eastern drc by supporting the rebellion. a country like rwanda cannot fight against the democrat. republic of the congo, we are marching, we are not breaking or destroying people's property, but the head of the police is sending his offices to chase us away. there is no doubt that western powers are out to plunder these resources and therefore cannot be part of the solution. the united states military command in africa, africom is now seen by many as an imperialist war machine that creates threats before managing the perception of safety. the ultimate object. of africa is advancing the united states's economic and geostrategic interest in a

the reason why eastern drc is so contested is because it has a lot of minerals, you know, cobalt, coltanat we use every day on our laptops and on our mobile phones. so whichever military group or governments control the region stand to make a lot of money. and rwanda's critics have said that in order to kind of further its agenda to become this real geopolitical superpower in east africa, it needs natural resources. and they say that that's why it's supporting m23. rwanda denies that. some analysts have suggested that perhaps m23 isn't fully trying to capture goma because it wouldn't be able to hold on to it, and it would draw a huge amount of international condemnation. but perhaps what they want to do is try and apply pressure on the congolese government to negotiate directly with them. the situation inside goma must be pretty worrying. absolutely. i mean, the problem right now is that m23 is controlling some of the main roads into goma. it's home to half a million internally displaced people. there's already, you know, tens of thousand more coming into the city, fleeing the violence e

the anods, or cathodes, lithium, manganese or cobalt that we might need for these ev's. so we've got to figure out the redundant suppliers. >> and is that the solution there purely to bring them back or is it also kind of partnering with other countries? what's the best way forward? >> all of the above. i think what we see, for instance, let's take australia for a second. australia mines almost all of these critical elements and rare earths, but they don't process them. and the processing all gets done in china. so they mine all of this stuff, they send it to china and then china sends it back to the rest of the world. so the question is, how do we stand up, for instance, processing plants either in australia or elsewhere that could handle the processing of these elements so that we can then be able to have a second supply as opposed to just relying on china. the same is true with regard to other parts of the supply chain. one very interesting thing, by the way, that i learned today is that aluminum or some of the ev's in china is coming from there, and we haven't talked

when we get messages up with me, cuz even though so many of our colleagues would like to wexler, a cobalt, the important sometimes you need because they're well aware. and we're well aware of what was really happening and what and when it was likely to lead to just they stood idly by voice hoping that they could use, you'll see neo nazi risk of phobic monster that they raised on our borders in order to vanquish or at least significantly wound in russia. was it more over? it certainly were after the special military operation had already begun with western puppets. here, as of the kia version prevented ukraine prevented a peace agreement that had already been emissions, which initial to an instant goals. so they are listed in the strategy and are fully responsible for the consequences of the reckless of actions that were fatal for ukraine actions to sabotaged women's agreements and to reject the agreements reached an estimate of the rules and precedents. they give them today. we will surely hear the same old tired scene about so called russian aggression and occupation about our alleging n

and from here what i labor lawyer, dine cobalt keys of the opinion that she is targeting civilians to compensate for stain is on the battlefield. i'm not sure they have much of a strategy left. i think this is the act of a very desperate regime but knows it's losing this war. that is just trying to inflict as much damage, frankly, on civilians as it can. i mean, it seems to me that really they're trying to punish the people of the new russian republics for deciding to go with russia and why? because they cannot, you know, go toe to toe with the russian military. they lawsuit this more. so now they're just engaging in random acts of terrorism. and also when the frank, the, the west pays a little attention to them as things heat up in the middle weeks may be, their calculus is that they want to provoke greater attacks by russia to get the west interested again. right. i mean, the west is not interested in ukraine as they were before because of the problems in the middle east. and maybe these attacks could this be seen as a cry for help to the west? somebody needs us in from the middle e

it aims to create a trade route for a central minerals such as copper and cobalt that are critical forc vehicles and the batteries. this is ambitious because it aims to ramp up exports to one million tons by the end of the to get by countering china's influence. tom: on that part in terms of countering chinese investments, china has been investing for over a decade, so to what extent does this move the needle when it comes to the u.s. attempt to counter chinese influence? >> slow but steady because china dominated investment in the last 10 decades and america is catching up because there's concern over critical minerals to power the energy transition. china invested more than $1 trillion in the initiative that passes through developing countries. america with a group of seven are committing billions to projects such as this. it collects mines in zambia to the port in tanzania and chinese companies have large stakes in mines in zambia, so america is a distant second. tom: playing catch-up. live in kigali, thank you for the update. coming up, could the magnificent seven become the slight

i wanted to go to a different component of the battery supply chain and not the commodities, the cobalt, etc., but the technologies embedded in there. there was a recent report that the authorities, camp lejeune indicated to the local authorities they could not put load balancing batteries from source in china as part of the reserve power system. and there have been increasing questions about the security of these larger batteries, not that the same isn't true of an e.v. or tesla auto. but with the drive towards green energy and load balancing batteries, whether at the industrial facility or on the grid itself are increasingly important and i've raised other issues today. it sounds like we're allowing preplaced chinese emissions on the u.s. homeland because these batteries are all remeetly -- remotely maintained, serviced, accessed. what been the technology sphere do you think we need to be doing about the battery supplies that we are not doing presently? >> these are remote vehicles for our destruction. they're embedded with electronics that be used for a variety of purposes. the batte

to our respected doctors at the brain institute, and red blood cells will not form if there is no cobaltmponent is tomato paste, we know that tomato paste contains lecopene, which prevents the development of cancer, look, this is the prostate, and men who consume a lot of lycopene, that is , tomato paste, that is, shuarma, will not have prostate cancer , well, among other things, i take bread from herman a... reduces the chance of developing diabetes, if you do not eat flour products with spoons or plates, for me the main thing is that the calorie content of shawarma, if you do not put a huge amount of sauce in it, is only 170 kilocalories per 100 g, which in general is quite good for a meat and vegetable product with a small amount of flatbread, which means i also want to draw attention. that's why, i specially cut it deep, like chefs generally don't cut, yes, because you can't cut shawarma deep, you see, there is raw meat here, raw meat is already a source of threat, and chicken, by the way, is the highest source of threat, because salmonella lives in chicken meat, you can’t even hold

do you understand that cobalt is a critical mineral used in the electric vehicle batteries?> do you understand 4.3% of these batteries are comprised of global? >> that sounds right. >> do you understand a 70% is in the democratic republic of the congo? >> yes sir. >> 15 to 30% of the minds for the democratic republic of the congo are called artesian minus? yes sir? >> do you understand that they have thousands of children working in the condition of slavery mining cobalt in the democratic republic of the congo? >> does the biden administration still insist on having 50% of all of the vehicles manufactured in the united states by 2030? >> congress send a signal in the inflation reduction act that we needed to move much more of the materials i asked you a specific question. the administration owns 50% of the vehicles produced by 2030 yes or no? what year is it now? >> 2023. >> almost 2024 so that gives six years. >> 75, up to $7,500 per electric vehicle. the de facto this is not a political statement. the united states government is subsidizing child slavery in the democratic

in fact, america's only cobalt mine closed on president biden's watch. foolish political energy policies make life harder for louisiana and american families. electric prices are already up 23% nationwide since president biden took office, and that's just a fact. look it up. go to google. let me say that again. electricity prices are up 23% on average nationwide since president biden took office. gas prices are up 32%. they come down some, thank god, but they're still up 32%. while louisianians struggle under president biden's energy and job-killing policies, our adversaries can't stop winning. let's take iran. iran's oil imports are at a five-year high. the ayatollah in iran, this guy made enough money to resume funding the terrorist attacks on american bases. he's doing it all over the world. you know why? because president biden lets him. we have sanctions on iran. the president will not enforce them. venezuela, let's take venezuela, another enemy of our country. venezuela's oil imports increased 12% in 2023. you know? -- you know why? president biden

would say that pakistan is sitting on a treasure trove of minerals, and they include copper, gold, cobalt, lithium, rare-earth, manganese, all of which there is demand, and i would say here that pakistan must become partner in mineral security partnership, because i think that this group would be incomplete without the participation of pakistan. and these four areas i have identified, energy, agriculture, critical minerals, and i.t., all these have been prioritized by the newly constituted special investment facilitation counsel for fast-track foreign investment. sfic, a one-stop shop, will guarantee speedy approvals of project development and implementation. a raft of incentives is being offered to investors. to improve the investment climate, we have taken measures to strengthen the enforcement of intellectual property rights, streamlined dispute settlement, ensure protection of foreign investment, give equitable dispensation taxes to foreign investors, and provide tax exemptions. you ask another question, mr. runde, and that is what do we want from the united states in the next 10 to 2

for healthy bones you need a trace element such as cobalt.most harmful substances. at our enterprise, neither hormones nor growth stimulants have ever been used; this myth arose due to the fact that a broiler chicken grows into a very large chicken. they think that hormonal substances or growth stimulants are used on it, well, yes , there’s just no point, why in the scabs, also a big misconception is that antibiotics are deposited in some part of the heel, in fact this is not so, the antibiotic is excreted from the body birds too. from the human body after a certain period of time it’s good, so don’t be afraid, lovers, viewers, there are chicken legs , there are no toxins there, here are the useful substances, which we will tell you about soon, are located, tell me, they are doing something very actively there, you can try, of course, you can, great, let's go, yeah, so we take the carcass up to two legs, the back is towards us and we get into the suspension, and tell me, what is the use of a leg, namely a short leg? what i want to highlight i

we know we need lithium, cobalt, graphite and a whole aerate of critical minerals in order to make sure this clean energy works. the full supply chain is part of whatever program offices working on investing in its part of what our grandson manufacturing supply chain offices working on. it's part of what we are doing in the international front in french shoring and developing strong relationships with countries that share our values and that we can create a buyer and seller market with. >> there is a lot of discussion now among electric vehicles and your department has done a lot to incentivize the production and promotion of electric vehicles. i want to ask about that there are a lot of companies coming to the u.s. to build electric vehicles and get some of these incentives but at the same time for consumers, it still difficult for them to find models that meet the requirements. what is your thought on that? will this even out over time? sec'y granholm: that's a great point. we want to incentivize domestic production make sure people have access to these tax credits. the strategy is to
