OVERVIEW

In 2002, about 34 % of the electricity of the EU was produced from nuclear fuel.
Supply of nuclear fuels to the EU utilities remained stable. The situation of the
market was similar to that observed in 2001. Supply of natural uranium and services
throughout the fuel cycle satisfied the demand. However, with rationalisation and
concentration of production in a small number of suppliers as well as buyers,
following mergers and acquisitions over the last few years, the nuclear fuels
market tended towards a delicate balance.

Worldwide primary production of natural uranium dropped slightly relative to 2001.
As has been the case for several years now, it amounts to just over half of the world
requirements. Secondary sources, essentially stockpiles of uranium, re-enrichment
of tails and, to a lesser extent, recycling of uranium and plutonium have made up
the difference between requirements and production. Although shortage of uranium is
not anticipated in the medium term, this fact continues to give cause for concern.
