The Nuclear Fuel Report: Expanded Summary –
Global Scenarios for Demand and Supply Availability 2019-2040
Produced by: World Nuclear Association
Published: June 2020

1. Introduction
The World Nuclear Association has published reports on nuclear fuel supply and 
demand at roughly two-yearly intervals since its foundation in 1975. The 19th
 edition of The Nuclear Fuel Report was released in September 2019 and includes 
scenarios covering a range of possibilities for nuclear power to 2040. Forecasts 
beyond 2040 are beyond the scope of the report and would require a rather 
different approach to capture the larger range of uncertainty; however, the key 
issues examined in the report are likely to have continued relevance during that 
longer period.
This Expanded Summary covers the key findings of 19th edition, and explains the 
methodology and the assumptions underlying the report’s three scenarios for 
future nuclear fuel demand and supply.
