Global uranium stocks can meet nuke energy demands for 85 yrs

Global uranium resources are more than adequate to meet projected requirements for nuclear electricity generation, according to the latest edition of a United Nations-backed world reference guide.

The guide ‘Uranium 2005: Resources, Production and Demand,’ jointly prepared by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates the total identified amount of conventional uranium stock, which can be mined for less than 130 dollars per kilo, at about 4.7 million tonnes.
