Uranium resources, production, and demand

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4389356
Reasonably assured world uranium resources under 0/lb U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ now amount to 866,000 tonnes uranium (1,126,000 short tons U/sub 3/O/sub 8/), an increase of about one-third over the past three years. Annual production of U/ sub 3/O/sub 8/ has remained fairly stable during this period, attaining a modest increase of about 10 per cent to a 1972 total of something over 19,000 tonnes uranium (25,000 short tons U/sub 3/O/sub 8/). Annual production capacity is planned to reach about 30,000 tonnes uranium (40,000 short tons U/sub 3/O/sub 8/) by 1975 and could attain about 50,000 tonnes uranium (65,000 short tons U/sub 3/O/ sub 8/) by 1978.
