Earlier this month, one of those Fools, K3VIN0, tapped Cameco as an atomic bargain opportunity:

There was too much negative press over the nuclear incident in Japan. Although the reactors/facility were 40 years old and do not represent the current technology we have today, no-one seems to notice. New reactors have an abundance of fail-safes to prevent a similar incident from happening. Once the shock from the Japanese incident dies down, countries will revert to uranium and its price will increase again. Cameco is the best company to be in for a situation like this.
