Uranium is the raw material used to produce fuel for long-lived nuclear power facilities, necessary for the generation of significant amounts of low-carbon electricity and other uses, such as heat and hydrogen production, for decades to come. Although a valuable commodity, major producing countries limited total production in recent years in response to a depressed uranium market. Uranium production cuts have unexpectedly deepened with the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, leading to some questions being raised about future uranium supply.This 28th edition of the “Red Book”, a recognised world reference on uranium jointly prepared by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), provides analyses and information from 45 producing and consuming countries in order to address these and other questions. The present edition reviews world uranium market fundamentals and presents data on global uranium exploration, resources, production and reactor-related requirements. It offers updated information on established uranium production centres and mine development plans, as well as projections of nuclear generating capacity and reactor-related requirements through 2040.

In World Trade Systems of the East and West , Geoffrey C. Gunn profiles Nagasaki's historic role in mediating the Japanese bullion trade, especially silver exchanged against Chinese and Vietnamese silk. Founded in 1571 as the terminal port of the Portuguese Macau ships, Nagasaki served as Japan's window to the world over long time and with the East-West trade carried on by the Dutch and, with even more vigor, by the Chinese junk trade. While the final expulsion of the Portuguese in 1646 characteristically defines the “closed” period of early modern Japanese history, the real trade seclusion policy, this work argues, only came into place one century later when the Shogunate firmly grasped the true impact of the bullion trade upon the national economy.

Based on official information received from 40 countries, Uranium 2007 provides a comprehensive review of world uranium supply and demand as of 1st January 2007, as well as data on global uranium exploration, resources, production and reactor-related requirements. It provides substantive new information from major uranium production centres in Africa, Australia, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and North America. Projections of nuclear generating capacity and reactor-related uranium requirements through 2030 are also featured, along with an analysis of long-term uranium supply and demand issues. I

. With several countries currently building nuclear power plants and planning the construction of more to meet long-term increases in electricity demand, uranium resources, production and demand remain topics of notable interest. In response to the projected growth in demand for uranium and declining inventories, the uranium industry - the first critical link in the fuel supply chain for nuclear reactors - is boosting production and developing plans for further increases in the near future. Strong market conditions will, however, be necessary to trigger the investments required to meet projec

Since 2001 the price of uranium has steadily climbed over five-fold, at a rate and reaching heights not seen since the 1970s. As a result, the uranium industry has seen a surge of activity, ending a period of over 20 years of relative stagnation. Worldwide exploration expenditures in 2004 increased almost 40% over 2002 figures. Overall, resource totals have increased over the past two years, indicating that increased uranium prices have begun to have an impact. Based on patterns observed following previous periods of heightened exploration efforts, further additions to the uranium resource bas

La première parution de la publication bisannuelle, Ressources, production et demande de l'uranium, remonte à 1965 et, depuis lors, il s’est imposé à travers le monde comme un ouvrage de référence sur l’uranium. En 40 ans d’existence, le Livre rouge a accumulé une impressionnante moisson de données officielles fournies par les gouvernements. La rétrospective du « Livre rouge » a été entreprise pour collecter, rassembler, analyser et publier toutes les informations clés recueillies dans les 20 éditions du Livre rouge parues entre 1965 et 2004. Par ailleurs, c'était l'occasion de compléter certaines informations afin de présenter un état des lieux aussi achevé et exhaustif que possible. Au final, la Rétrospective du Livre rouge dresse un tableau évolutif complet du secteur de l’uranium à l’échelle mondiale dans les domaines suivants : prospection, ressources, production, besoins liés aux réacteurs, inventaires et prix. On y examine dans le détail le chemin parcouru par les grands pays producteurs d’uranium, notamment l’Allemagne (y compris l’ex-République démocratique allemande), l’Australie, le Canada, les États-Unis, la Fédération de Russie (y compris l’ex-Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques) et la France. Ainsi peut-on, pour la première fois, obtenir une vision globale de la production et de la demande annuelles et cumulées d’uranium depuis l’avènement de l’ère atomique. Outre les données chronologiques et les documents connexes, on trouvera dans la Rétrospective du Livre rouge des analyses d’experts qui jettent une lumière nouvelle sur certaines dimensions importantes du secteur comme : le coût des découvertes, les ratios entre ressources et production, et le délai qui sépare la découverte de la production, entre autres.

Metals, Culture and Capitalism is an ambitious, broad-ranging account of the search for metals in Europe and the Near East from the Bronze Age to the Industrial Revolution and the relationship between this and economic activity, socio-political structures and the development of capitalism. Continuing his criticism of Eurocentric traditions, a theme explored in The Theft of History (2007) and Renaissances (2009), Jack Goody takes the Bronze Age as a starting point for a balanced account of the East and the West, seeking commonalities that recent histories overlook. Considering the role of metals in relation to early cultures, the European Renaissance and 'modernity' in general, Goody explores how the search for metals entailed other forms of knowledge, as well as the arts, leading to changes that have defined Europe and the contemporary world. This landmark text, spanning centuries, cultures and continents, promises to inspire scholars and students across the social sciences.
