Global Status of Front End Nuclear Fuel Cycle Inventories in 2023 (Non-serial Publications)

This publication provides a comprehensive evaluation of data in the public domain on frontend uranic inventories and considers the approach of end users towards the reliability of their once-through supply chains. The analysis includes country and regional insights for Africa and the Middle East, Eurasia, Europe, North America, South America, and South and East Asia. By considering regional perspectives rather than offering a purely global overview, the evaluation more accurately reflects the realities of local supply and demand conditions in recent years. It aims to support the development of strategies that ensure the reliable, safe, and secure supply of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plant operations. This publication is intended for all IAEA Member States with nuclear power, as well as those considering the introduction of nuclear power and seeking to strengthen the security and assurance of their nuclear fuel supply.
