Uranium Resources and Security of Supply
Nuclear Energy Agency
Security of energy supply has economic, social and political dimensions. It first became a major concern for governments in the early 1970s. Since then, successive oil crises, socio-political conflicts, volatility of hydrocarbon prices (including abuse of monopolistic powers), terrorist risks and natural disasters, have all increased global concerns about this issue. For example, the increased reliance on generating electricity from natural gas imported from relatively politically unstable regions or unreliable trading partners increases the risk of supply interruptions and price volatility.
