Estimates on future development of uranium demand based on installed capacity of commercial reactors, overview of world uranium reserves, estimates of mines’ production up to year 2030, overview of enrichment and fuel production facilities follow. In the conclusion of every part considering production and processing of uranium there is a comparison of estimated capacities with estimated demand up to year 2030. |
