Uranium Raw Material for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle: Exploration, Mining, Production, Supply and Demand, Economics and Environmental Issues (URAM-2018)

In response to a challenging economic environment, the industry is currently seeking new and innovative ways to improve efficiencies in producing uranium. Continued interest in developing uranium resources in a safe and sustainable manner led to this symposium being convened. This publication presents the proceedings. In continuation of the topics at previous symposia on uranium production and raw materials for the nuclear fuel cycle, the main focus was to analyse uranium supply/demand scenarios and to present and discuss new developments in uranium geology, exploration, mining, milling and processing, as well as environmental requirements for uranium operations and site decommissioning.
