A Joint Report by ISBN 978-92-64-17803-8 the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency Uranium 2011: Resources, Production and Demand Executive summary Uranium 2011 – Resources, Production and Demand presents, in addition to updated resource figures, the results of the most recent review of world uranium market fundamentals and provides a statistical profile of the world uranium industry as of 1 January 2011. It contains official data provided by 34 countries and 8 national reports prepared by the joint NEA-IAEA Secretariat on uranium exploration, resources, production and reactor-related requirements. Projections of nuclear generating capacity and reactor-related uranium requirements through 2035 are presented as well as a discussion of long-term uranium supply and demand issues. Resources1 Total identified uranium resources have increased by over 12% since 2009, adding more than 12 years of global reactor requirements to the existing resource base, but costs of production have also increased. Total identified resources (reasonably assured and inferred) as of 1 January 2011 declined slightly to 5 327 200 tonnes of uranium metal (tU) in the
