What the wired.com article didn't talk about is the neutron capture process that led to the creation of the uranium billions of years ago. It also conveniently did not include how the uranium ended up on earth during it's formation. I'm literally shaking right now.
Although some of the uranium came from Bear Lake in Canada – about 907 tonnes (1,000 tons) are thought to have been supplied by the Eldorado mining company – and a mine in Colorado, the majority came from the Congo. Some of the uranium from the Congo was also refined in Canada before being shipped to the US.
