“Silver is an interesting beast because it’s not quite like gold, which mostly serves as a monetary/investment vehicle. Silver has two primary functions... industrial uses comprise half of the silver demand and investment uses claim the other half, including coins and bars, jewelry and silverware. Both sides of this story are quite positive for silver.”
Platinum and Palladium Education Center
The supply-demand dynamics for platinum and palladium are intertwined, as these metals are often co-byproducts in the same mining location. Each often substitutes for the other in several industrial applications, including automotive catalytic converters.

"The supply of both platinum and palladium is rather steady, with both amounting to approximately 250-280 tonnes every year. While most platinum (~90%) is produced in the South African region (including Zimbabwe), a large supply of palladium comes from Russia (29%) and South Africa (27%) and is generally mined as a by-product of nickel mines in Russia and platinum mines in South Africa.”

“Nuclear radiation exposure is minimal compared to the many sources of radiation we could come across in our daily lives. ~80% of an average person’s annual radiation exposure comes from natural sources, such as sunlight, soil and water, while ~18% comes from man-made sources such as computers, cell phones and x-rays. Less than only 1% comes from the nuclear industry, including uranium exploration and mining.”
