There is indeed plenty of uranium. The question is how much of it is
reasonably accessible. Ideas such as extracting it from seawater are
as close to perpetual motion as makes no difference.

Even just restricting oneself to the reasonably accessible stuff the
estimates of reserves are subject to the same sorts of caution as
apply to estimates of oil reserves.
