Figure 4: Uranium production and demand Figure 6: History and forecast of uranium production based on reported resources. The smallest area covers 1900 kt uranium which has the status of proved reserves while the data uncertainty increases towards the largest area which is based on possible reserves consisting of 4700 kt uranium. Figure A-9: Future production profile If all “Reasonably Assured Resources” and “Inferred Resources < 130 $/kg U” are producible, this roughly corresponds to “Possible Reserves”. 〔Energy Watch Group(2006)によるUranium resources and nuclear energyから〕
