PREFACE

Since the mid-1960s, with the cooperation of their Member countries, the OECD 
Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 
have periodically published joint reports on world uranium resources, production 
and demand, commonly known as the "Red Book". This edition is the eleventh in 
the series.

The contents of this publication have been prepared on the basis of data solicited 
through questionnaires sent by NEA to its Member countries and by the IAEA to 
those of its Member countries that are not Members of the OECD and to certain 
additional U.N. Member countries. Although some countries prepared comprehensive 
national reports which are presented in their more or less original form (Chapter VI), 
a number of these reports were prepared by each Agency on the basis of the 
questionnaire responses it had received. The responsibilities for the preparation of 
the remaining chapters of the report were divided equally between the two Agencies.
The NEA’s responsibilities for the preparation of this report were carried out under 
the direction of the NEA Uranium Group.

This report, based on data collected mainly during the first half of 1985, reviews the 
uranium supply position throughout the World Outside Centrally Planned Economies 
Areas (WOCA) by evaluating and compiling data on uranium resources, past and 
present production, and plans for future production from data provided by 57 
countries and compares these with possible future reactor related uranium 
requirements. It also reports on and analyses the recent levels of exploration 
for uranium. The report also contains information on thorium resources.

Some information on short-term (up to 1995) uranium demand has been provided 
by national authorities in response to the questionnaires up to the year 2000. 
Longer-term projections of uranium demand were provided by the NEA Working 
Party on Nuclear Fuel Cycle Requirements (WPNFCR).
