International Symposium on Uranium Raw Material for Nuclear Fuel Cycle: Exploration, Mining, Production, Supply and Demand, Economics and Environmental Issues (URAM-2009)

Start date: 22 Jun 2009

End date: 26 Jun 2009

Place: Vienna, Austria  

Description: The long term sustainability of nuclear power will depend on, among several factors, an adequate supply of uranium resources that can be delivered to the marketplace at competitive prices. New exploration technology and a better understanding of the genesis of the uranium ores will be required to discover increasingly hard to find uranium deposits. The mining and milling technology should be environmentally benign, and site decommissioning plans should meet the requirements of increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
The purpose of the symposium is to analyse uranium supply–demand scenarios and to present and discuss new developments in uranium exploration, mining and processing, and environmental requirements for uranium operations and site decommissioning.
