Description

The Brazilian government announced in 2007 its plans to reactivate the nuclear program. As a result of this decision, a new nuclear power plant is already being built and there are studies dealing with, among other activities, the building of 5 to 9 new ones until the end of 2030. Such increase of the country's uranium demand affects INB, the Brazilian state company that's in charge of uranium supply. This paper describes scenarios predicted to impact the Brazilian nuclear industry for the next years and the INB's plans to meet the country's needs in terms of uranium exploration and production.
