【本刊2015年7月综合报道】2014年,全球天然铀总产量为5.6217万tU(6.6297万tU 3O8),比2013年(5.937万tU)低5.3%,逆转了此前多年一直保持的上升趋势;天然铀产量的地域分布极不均匀,三大产铀国即哈萨克斯坦、加拿大和澳大利亚的产量之和约占世界总产量的66%;地浸法在天然铀开采中的份额为51%;2014年铀产量可满足全球核电工业85%的年度需求。 【Article published in July 2015 comprehensive report】 In 2014, the total output of natural uranium in the world was 562.17 million tU (662.97 million tU 3O8), down 5.3% from 2013 (59.37 million tU), reversing the upward trend that has been maintained for many years ; The distribution of natural uranium production is very unevenly distributed. The sum of the output of the three major uranium producing countries Kazakhstan, Canada and Australia accounts for about 66% of the world’s total output; that of the immersion method is 51% of the natural uranium mining; Uranium production in 2014 will meet 85% of the annual needs of the global nuclear power industry.
