Naturaland enriched uranium inventories

Until 1990, uranium production exceeded reactor-related uranium requirements. Since then, though requirements have exceeded production (Figure 7.5). By 2003, cumulative production still exceeded cumulative requirements by about 691 400 tU (Figure 7.6). Production of uranium for military purposes is, however, likely included in the cumulative production total, while military material is not reflected in cumulative demand. The exact amount of material that was dedicated to military purposes is not known, nor is it known how much of this material will remain dedicated to military purposes and how much will ultimately become available for civilian use. Therefore, though production exceeded requirements this does not represent a true inventory of excess material that will ultimately be available for civilian use
