Dopyt po uráne sa zoštvornásobí
V ďalších 40. rokoch sa globálny dopyt po uráne zoštvornásobí - zo súčasných 69tis. ton za rok na 285tis v roku 2050. Nukleárna energia sa rýchlo približuje k renesancii a zostáva len otázkou krátkeho času, kedy sa naplno rozvinie.
Speaking at the Paydirt 2010 Australian Uranium Conference today, Professor Barry Brook said rising electricity demands and reduced fossil fuel use would guarantee uranium demand for "at least the next 50 years."
"Thermal reactors currently contribute about 380 GW, or 15%, of total global electricity production, which is due to grow at least four times to about 1550 GW by 2040," he said.
Under this growth scenario, global uranium consumption will rise from 69,000 tonnes annually at present, to about 285,000 tonnes annually by 2040.
"Nuclear power is rapidly approaching a renaissance, even if it has not quite arrived yet.
