Uranium resources sufficient to meet projected nuclear energy
requirements long into the future
There is enough uranium known to exist to fuel the world's fleet of
nuclear reactors at current consumption rates for at least a century,
according to the latest edition of the world reference on uranium which
has just been published. |
|
Uranium 2007: Resources, Production and Demand, jointly
prepared by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is based on official information from 40
countries and one country report prepared by the IAEA Secretariat. The
2007 edition includes statistics on uranium resources, exploration,
production and demand as well as projected requirements up to 2030. More
information is available at

Radiological protection
|
|
The NEA Committee on Radiation Protection and Public Health (CRPPH) met
on 20-22 May 2008 at OECD headquarters in Paris, France. During the
meeting, the 2009 CRPPH programme of work was reviewed, which includes
three events of wide interest. In early 2009, the Fifth Asian Regional
Conference on the Evolution of the System of Radiological Protection
will be held. Later in 2009, the implications of stakeholder involvement
for post-accident consequence management will be examined during a
workshop that will draw on previous NEA work in this field. In late
2009, science and values in radiological protection will be the subject
of a workshop to build on ongoing NEA work on radiological protection
from a public health perspective. Delegates also held a topical session
on recent developments in radiological protection science. The
proceedings of the topical session are currently in preparation. More

Nuclear data services
Participants in the Joint European Fission and Fusion (JEFF) nuclear
data evaluation project met on
21-23 May 2008 in Aix-en-Provence, France. Meeting participants reviewed
feedback from the verification and validation of the current version of
the JEFF data library and discussed evaluations to be incorporated into
a future release of the library. A new release of JEFF-3.1.1/RDD, the
radioactive decay data library, is now available on CD-ROM. The full
documentation for the radioactive decay data library is currently being
prepared for publication. More information is available at
www.nea.fr/html/dbdata/projects/nds_jef.htm.

About the NEA
NEA membership consists of 28 OECD countries. The mission of the NEA is
to assist its member countries in maintaining and further developing,
through international co-operation, the scientific, technological and
legal bases required for a safe, environmentally friendly and economical
use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The NEA also provides
authoritative assessments and forges common understandings on key issues,
as input to government decisions on nuclear energy policy and to broader
OECD policy analyses in areas such as energy and sustainable development.
The information, data and analyses it provides draw on one of the best
international networks of technical experts.
