  • Abstract

    This paper's purpose is to discuss the future supply structure of China uranium resources on the basis of analyzing the domestic supply and foreign supply capacity of China's uranium resources. Due to the poor endowment of uranium resource, China domestic uranium production increases slowly. It can be calculated that the cumulative production of domestic production will be 37900tU, overseas production will be 41950 tU, international market purchases will be 130574tU and the cumulative degree of dependence on foreign is about 80% from 2016 to 2030. At that time, China's foreign dependence on uranium will be more than oil, and the situation is extremely serious. Finally, puts forward some suggestions to ensure the supply of China's uranium resources.
