The increase of the use of atomic power in some emerging economies, in particular South Korea and China, has revitalized a discussion regarding the availability of uranium resources. Despite the fact that global uranium resources are more than sufficient to supply reactor-related demand for the...

This synthesis was prepared by France Bourgouin with the research support of Roberta Pinamonti, Charlotte Bancilhon, Asako Nagai, and Julia Panzer. It was developed as part of the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) research project Governing Uranium. Since, 2013, DIIS has been...

This publication provides non-mandatory guidance for the application of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) to uranium and thorium resources. These Guidelines are intended to assist all those responsible for finding, classifying, quantifying, financing, permitting,...

As addressing climate change becomes a high priority it seems likely that there will be a surge in interest in deploying nuclear power. Other fuel bases are too dirty (coal), too expensive (oil, natural gas) or too speculative (solar, wind) to completely supply the energy needs of the global...

We employ a two-tier spatiotemporal analysis to investigate whether uranium operations cause armed conflict in Africa. The macrolevel analysis suggests that - compared to the baseline conflict risk - uranium ventures increase the risk of intrastate conflict by 10 percent. However, we find ethnic...

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wurde die steuerliche Inzidenz der seit 2011 erhobenen Kernbrennstoffsteuer analysiert. Erörtert wurde, ob und inwieweit (a) die Steuer materiell von den Betreibern von Kernkraftwerken getragen wird und (b) ob und inwieweit eine Vor- oder Rückwälzung der Steuer...

Physical fundamentals of traveling wave reactor are considered. We show that the condition of existence of nuclear burning soliton-like wave in a neutron-multiplying medium is determined in general by two conditions. The first condition (necessary) is determined by relationship between the...

Given the strategic long run character of the nuclear deal, the decision on it should nor be hurried. Nor is it one that can be taken without seeking wider public consensus than is available to the UPA government.
