International Symposium on Uranium Production and Raw Materials for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle – Supply and Demand, Economics, the Environment and Energy Security, 20 - 24 June 2005, Vienna, Austria

Uranium (Nuclear Minerals) / Exploration, Mining, Marketing, & Acquisitions

Date posted: 09/14/09

The long-term viability of nuclear power will depend on an adequate supply of uranium resources that can be delivered to the marketplace at competitive prices by environmentally sound mining and milling technology. New exploration technology and a better understanding of ore deposit genesis will be required to explore for and develop increasingly obscure uranium deposits. Similarly, uranium mining, processing and site decommissioning technology will be required to keep pace with expanding environmental regulations. The purpose of the Symposium is to analyze uranium supply-demand relationships and to present and discuss new developments in uranium geology and exploration, mining and processing, and environmental requirements for uranium operations and site decommissioning.
