The world`s largest producers of uranium concentrates are Cameco, Cogema, and RTZ Corp. In 1989, these three producers will have a total net production interest of 37.7 million pounds U{sub 3}O{sub 8} and will participate in the production of 64.4 million pounds U{sub 3}O{sub 8}, or 65 percent of world production. By 1995, they are expected to participate in 68 percent of world production capability. While Cameco has found its success in a small corner of Saskatchewan, Cogema and RTZ have wide-ranging interests in a variety of political and economic settings. Cameco and Cogema provide downstream nuclear fuel services in addition to uranium concentrates. All three companies have a long history which traces the development of the uranium industry from infancy to maturity, and which puts them in the forefront of activity well into the next century.
