世界铀资源概况

Survey of world uranium resources

随着核电技术的逐步成熟和完善,核电作为一种清洁、高效、绿色的能源已为人们所接受。新一轮核电建设热潮已经掀起,未来25 a内,全球将新建100～300座核电站。随之而来,对核电站燃料天然铀已引起足够的重视。世界各大铀矿业公司加紧了对铀资源的勘探和开发力度。铀资源已经成为世界核领域的焦点之一。简要介绍了世界铀资源、铀勘查、铀生产、铀需求、铀价格,以及分析了近年铀价走势原因。

With the maturation and completion of nuclear electricity technology, the nuclear power has already been accepted by the publics as a kind of clear, high-efficient and green energy resources. A new round of upsurge in nuclear power construction has been unfolded. In the coming 25 years, 100 to 300 nuclear power stations will be established in the world. Therefore, sufficient attention has been paid to the fuels of nuclear power station（natural uranium）. Exploration and development of uranium resources are increased by the different uranium industry companies in the world. Uranium resources have already become one of the focuses in the global nuclear field. Uranium resources, exploration, production, demands, prices are introduced briefly in the paper, and the causes of trends in uranium prices are also analyzed.
