Resources Policy, 2017, vol. 53, issue C, 394-407

Abstract: Against a backdrop of decarbonisation in the energy sector and the increasing share of nuclear power in the global power mix, availability of uranium resources presents a major challenge. Since it will be some time before technologies of future nuclear reactors which remove the reliance on natural uranium are fully deployed, it is relevant to analyse the availability conditions for uranium in the 21st century.
