The link gives this in the summary at the start:


"The recovery cost was estimated to be 5-10 times of that from mining uranium. More than 80% of the total cost was occupied by the cost for marine equipment for mooring the adsorbents in seawater, which is owning to a weight of metal cage for adsorbents. Thus, the cost can be reduced to half by the reduction of the equipment weight to 1/4."


If they reduce the cost to half then it's still 2.5-5 time more expensive than mining uranium.


For an industrial scale you'll also have to implement reasonable security and hefty safety measures. That will cost.





Well, if it's in their national waters then that shouldn't be a problem. Still 'Uranium Poachers' does have a very Boys Own Stories ring to it ;D
