Nuclear Power Growth, 1974 - 2000

Abstract

This forecast of the growth of nuclear power in the United States and the rest of the world represents a current evaluation of domestic and foreign trends in the growth of nuclear power, the future capability of foreign nations to supply uranium enrichment services to reactor operators, the timing and application of plutonium recycle technology, and the timing and rate of introduction of the fast-breeder reactor (FBR). A total of seven separate cases has been prepared, four for the United States and three for the rest of the world. These cases are not intended to specify precise future situations but rather to provide a reasonable range of estimates of the growth of nuclear power and the concomitant range of requirements for separative work, uranium and related materials and services.
