Engpässe und Preiserhöhungen drohen bei Uran
Preise für Uran werden steigen
(pte) - Aufgrund der immensen Ausbaupläne der Atomindustrie einzelner Länder droht schon in den kommenden zehn Jahren ein Versorgungsengpass mit Uran. Als Ursache führen Fachleute an, dass die Uranminen jährlich nur zwei Drittel des weltweiten Bedarfs fördern. Das Problem ist nicht neu, denn die Atombranche deckt den Rest bislang aus Vorräten, die vor 1980 in Zeiten des Kalten Krieges während der jahrzehntelangen Überproduktion in den Minen angesammelt wurden. Da Restbestände in den nächsten Jahren zur Neige gehen, bahnen sich Engpässe an.

Encouraging Jump of IT Hirings in January
Addition of 12,900 IT jobs an 'encouraging' sign
U.S. IT employment increased by 12,900 jobs, or 0.3%, in January, one of the best month-to-month gains since the recession hit in late 2008, the TechServe Alliance reported today. The positive news comes after the prolonged recession had reduced overall IT employment by some 200,000 jobs, according to the Alexandria, Va.-based IT services industry group, which tracks monthly changes in IT hiring based on its own analysis of U.S. unemployment data.

Universities Across the UK Will Be Forced to Slash Spending
Universities across Britain are preparing to axe thousands of teaching jobs, close campuses and ditch courses to cope with government funding cuts, write Jessica Shepherd and Owen Bowcott for The Guardian. Other plans include using postgraduates rather than professors for teaching and the delay of major building projects. The proposals have already provoked ballots for industrial action at a number of universities in the past week raising fears of strike action that could severely disrupt lectures and examinations.
