After the Fukushima disaster, everything changed for the nuclear power industry. Both Germany and Japan completely shut down their nuclear fleets, and other countries remained cautious about announcing plans for new reactors. Nearly three years later, that has all begun to change. This is all positive news for uranium miners like Cameco Corp (CCJ -0.42%) and Denison Mines (DNN -0.46%). Why? Well, China has more plants under construction than it currently has operational, Japan has 48 reactors that could potentially be brought back online pending investigations and Vietnam was just cleared by President Obama to purchase nuclear fuel from the U.S. All of this could lead to a better supply demand balance within the industry.
