>Estimates of the amount concentrated into ores affordable to extract for under $130 per kg can be less than a millionth of that total.
>As of 2017, identified uranium reserves recoverable at US$130/kg were 6.14 million tons (compared to 5.72 million tons in 2015). At the rate of consumption in 2017, these reserves are sufficient for slightly over 130 years of supply. The identified reserves as of 2017 recoverable at US$260/kg are 7.99 million ton
i know those are mostly traditional U235 reactors that use 1% of the uranium but even with breeder reactors that would still be a lot less than "millions of years", especially when at the current consumption rate nuclear produces less than 5% of the energy used on earth
