Uranium 2020: Resources, Production and Demand

Adequacy of Funding Arrangements for Decommissioning and Radioactive Waste Management (ADEQ)

This joint report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) is the ninth in a series of studies on electricity generating costs. As countries work towards ensuring ...

The levelised costs of electricity generation of low-carbon generation technologies are falling and are increasingly below the costs of conventional fossil fuel generation, finds the 2020 edition of ...

Sustained performance of nuclear technology depends on access to a talented and well-qualified workforce, thus it is important to ensure that adequate infrastructures exist for education and training...

Fuel cycle economics evaluates costs related to the nuclear fuel cycle. This includes uranium, its conversion and enrichment, fuel fabrication, spent fuel, high-level waste disposal and transport.
