1) INTRODUCTION

The debate over the potential markets for Australia's uranium has rocked on within 
the ALP for soma time now. Broadly speaking, the so - called economic rationalists 
within the right wing of the ALP have tended to see a virtually unlimited market for 
Australian uranium exports, while the left of the party, the Democrats, and the 
environment movement have tended to see a strictly limited market. While the 
authors of the above study make no apology for thinking that even if markets for 
our uranium did exist in the way that the ALP right thinks they do, we should leave 
our uranium In the ground, what we hope to show is that markets for our uranium are 
strictly limited, and that studies such as the recent one by Nuexco, predicting a very 
bouyant market for our yellowcake are based on very optimistic assumptions indeed.
