Description
Since 1990, the quantity of ore mined annually only represents 50%-60% of the total consumption of uranium by nuclear reactors. The remainder comes from 'secondary resources', i.e., previously mined uranium that has been held in storage or already been used but reprocessed for reuse. However the surplus of these resources available for sale has almost been reabsorbed
