The uranium market has been characterized by a large disparity between global reactor requirements and mine productionSurvey of Energy Resources 2007 Uranium - Overview. Kgrr (talk) 08:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reserves / Production ratio

If the proven reserves remaining at the end of any year are divided by the production (consumption) in that year, the result is the time that those remaining reserves would last if production were to continue at the then-current level. Like the fossil fuels, uranium is also one of the depletable natural resources. If uranium is only used in a once-through cycle where it is burned in a reactor only once and disposed as a waste thereafter, confirmed reserves are destined to be depleted in the next 60 years.Emil Bedi, CANCEE and Hakan Falk.
