You’re missing the point, which is that we don’t normally measure reserves in centuries. We prospect as needed, and there is no reason to think that we would be unable to locate new deposits as necessary. All this and more is covered in the source you linked.
We don’t know we have centuries worth of stockpile. That’s just an assumption.
In fact, I think it’s a foolish assumption to make since if the world’s nuclear powers haven’t been quietly prospecting the globe for new sources of Uranium since 1945, they sure should have been. But you don’t hear about a lot of new uranium mines opening.
And what if this big stockpile us close to a major waterway? Or under a bunch of people’s homes?
Acting like “we can just look and find more” as if it’s that simple doesn’t make sense to me.

Which has never once caused a problem before, am I right?
Love how you ignored their actual point to focus on the one thing they said that didn’t apply to the topic
That’s what we normally do, which is a problem
But for nuclear we have centuries worth of stockpile, so we dont have to do that
