中国铀矿资源安全分析

Analysis of the safety problem of China's uranium resources

中国铀矿资源禀赋不佳,国内产量难以满足需求,对外依存度处于高位,不利于我国核电产业的可持续发展。本文对中国铀矿资源存在的四个问题进行了探讨:(1)国内资源难以满足需求,对外依存度快速攀升;(2)进口来源集中,存在一定的风险;(3)全球铀矿资源趋于垄断,存在一定的市场风险;(4)核电产业的发展加剧资源竞争,推高铀矿价格。最终提出保障我国铀矿资源安全的对策建议:(1)立足国内,加强铀矿勘查;(2)适度开放民用铀矿资源市场;(3)积极走出去,加快铀矿资源全球配置;(4)建立铀矿资源储备。

It is difficult for China to use its domestic uranium resources to meet its demand,so its external dependency will remain at a high level,which is not conducive to the sustainable development of the nuclear power industry in China.This paper discuss four problems associated with China＇s uranium resources：①domestic uranium production is increasing slowly,so the country＇s external dependency is rising;②there are potential supply risks because the source of imports is concentrated;③global uranium resources tend to be controlled by a monopoly,so there is the possibility of manipulating the market;④with the development of a nuclear power industry in developing countries,uranium prices will rise significantly.Finally,we offer relevant countermeasures and suggestions：①strengthening mineral exploration,increasing domestic production;②actively going global to achieve a diversified source of imports;③the establishment of reserves for uranium resources;④ strengthening scientific and technological research to improve processing capacity of generic fuels.
