The World Nuclear Association has published reports on nuclear fuel demand and supply at two-year intervals since 1975. The 2017 report is the 18th edition in the series and looks at scenarios for uranium demand and supply to 2035.
*The Nuclear Fuel Report* considers three scenarios (Lower, Reference and Upper); the projections are based on assumptions of electricity demand growth, nuclear...

Track 1. Nuclear power and associated modern energy markets
ORAL
In recent years, nuclear power continued to supply significant amounts of low-carbon baseload electricity, despite strong competition from low-cost fossil fuels and subsidised renewable energy sources. However, there is ongoing debate on the role that nuclear energy will play in meeting future energy requirements. Key factors that will influence future nuclear energy capacity include projected...

Track 2. Uranium markets
ORAL
INTRODUCTION
The March 2011 Fukushima accident has not only led to a significant reduction in global uranium demand, but it has resulted in the enormous growth of nuclear fuel inventories. Uranium producers have been unable to compete with the current situation of large and growing nuclear fuel inventories and have recently begun to curtail primary production as these low-cost inventories...

Track 1. Nuclear power and associated modern energy markets
ORAL
The last few years saw the end of the commodity super-cycle, the gradual fall in oil and gas prices, the carbon crunch and the wide-ranging revolution that is going on in technology, often termed Industry 4.0. Rapid digitization, which is taking over all areas of the industry and the society, including transportation, means that energy in general will be increasingly electric. How the...

Track 2. Uranium markets
ORAL
The Russian State Corporation Rosatom has acquired Uranium One in 2010 to secure long term uranium supply for its nuclear fuel cycle chain and consolidated on its basis high quality uranium assets in Kazakhstan and in other countries. Uranium One has increased annual production almost 5 times during the last 7 years and became a fourth global U producer. It has a diversified production base in...
