FOREWORD This is a report of an expert study prepared by the Joint Steering Group on Uranium Resources at the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). For some years the NEA and the IAEA have jointly published a report on world uranium resources which have been identified or for which there is a high level of assurance of their existence and which can be exploited at costs within defined ranges. The latest edition of this report is "Uranium Resources, Production and Demand, December 1977". It provides estimates of resources categorized as Reasonably Assured Resources (RAR) and Estimated Additional Resources (EAR) in the cost ranges up to $ 80/kg U and $ 80-130/kg U. The NEA/IAEA Joint Steering Group on Uranium Resources recognizes, however, that these estimates do not constitute a complete appraisal of the world's uranium resources. Consequently, it undertook an expert study to better define the possible extent and location of further undiscovered uranium resources exploitable at costs less than $ 130/kg U, which it refers to as Speculative Resources. The Group's definition of Speculative Resources, together with the definitions of RAR and EAR used in "Uranium Resources, Production and Demand, December 1977" are described in Annex Ill. The expert study constituted Phase I of the International Uranium Resources Evaluation Project (IUREP) and was completed in June 1978.
