Terrafame has launched a pre-feasibility study on producing scandium in Finland from a side stream at its existing uranium recovery plant.
The move targets a metal used in sectors including defense, as Europe pushes to secure supplies of critical minerals.

Terrafame is turning uranium byproduct into a critical metal. Is this a green-tech breakthrough or a risky environmental gamble?

Can one Finnish plant break China's stranglehold on the rare metals vital for Europe's defense and tech industries?
