 Uranium is the main fuel for nuclear reactors that generates 11% of the world's electricity. Secure supplies of the metal are needed for this low-carbon energy technology. Identified uranium resources are sufficient for well over 100 years of supply, but the current oversupply may not last forever. It is therefore important that this vital resource is mined, produced and managed sustainably. Around 300 experts from 61 countries are at the Agency's headquarters in Vienna to participate in the International Symposium on Uranium Raw Material for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle. URAM 2018 is one of the world's largest and most respected uranium conferences. It's a great forum to exchange ideas and learn about the advances because uranium production should contribute to the long-term and sustainable use of nuclear energy. The participants will also discuss new ways to improve uranium exploration, mining and its efficient use. From Vienna, Austria, this is Alejandra Silva reporting for the IAEA.
