  We obtain age estimates for the progenitor(s) of the extremely metal-poor
([Fe/H = -2.9) halo star CS 31082-001, based on the recently reported first
observation of a Uranium abundance in this (or any other) star. Age estimates
are derived by application of the classical r-process model with updated
nuclear physics inputs. The [U/Th] ratio yields an age of 13+-4 Gyr or 8+-4
Gyr, based on the use of the ETFSI-Q or the new HFBCS-1 nuclear mass models,
respectively. Implications for Thorium chronometers are discussed.
