Nuclear Fuels

[AC0803]

Hi I am doing some reasearch into nuclear fuels trading. The markets seems to be expanding due to recent deregulation. The markets seems to be mostly OTC and of large size. From 2004 the price of Uranium rose 300% in two years.

I would really appreciate it if you could help out with a few questions.

1.) Who really trades Nuclear Fuels?
2.) How is is traded? electronic? OTC?
3.) How much is traded?
4.) How Liquid are the markets?
5.) What are the spreads like?
6.) Are the participants mainly managing risk? or speculating?
7.) Which aspects of the market are the most interesting right now?

Thankyou in advance

This is useful thanks. But it only covers exchange traded. I wanted to know how the market really operates. Surely the big nuclear power companies dont trade this electronically?
