World nuclear fuel cycle requirements, 1987

Technical Report · Thu Aug 27 04:00:00 EDT 1987

OSTI ID:6297325

Projected requirements for uranium concentrate and uranium enrichment services to fuel the nuclear power plants expected to be operating under three nuclear supply scenarios (the Lower Reference, Upper Reference, and Optimistic cases) in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Far East, and other countries in the World Outside Centrally Planned Economic Areas are analyzed. The report also presents projections of spent nuclear fuel discharges and inventories of spent fuel. Domestic projections are provided through the year 2020 and include a No New Orders case. Annual spent fuel projections for the No New Orders case as extended to 2040 are presented in Appendix E. Foreign projections are provided through 2010. The report also contains an analysis of the sensitivities of the nuclear fuel cycle projections to different levels and types of projected nuclear capacity, different enrichment tails assays, higher and lower capacity factors, and changes in nuclear fuel burnup levels.
