That's in the Forbes article rather than the Phys.org article. And there's a billion dollar/watt question in there. "Equilibrium" is doing a lot of work in that paragraph. In order for the claim to matter practically, the reactions he's talking about have to replenish uranium to extraction-viable concentration at the same rate it's extracted. It sounds like our Forbes writer is suggesting the process accelerates at least linearly with the extraction rate, and that'd be cool, but forgive me if I don't take it for granted without further focus on why that's a reasonable expectation.
