The initial motivation behind the concept of the Red Book was concern about the adequacy of uranium resources to sustain the nuclear fuel cycle. By 1970, the importance of adequate production capacity along with adequate resources was acknowledged when capacity information was first published in the Red Book in individual country reports. The 1973 Red Book expanded the reporting of production capacity by summarising capacity as of 1973 and also listing projected capacities for 1975 and 1978. Subsequent Red Books continued to expand the time frames included in future projections of production capacity; the 1988 Red Book included capacity projections between 1990 and 2030.
