The Nuclear Fuel Cycle and the UPC
Exploration
![Page 4: UNFC update 2018 - UNECE€¦ · Asia Pacific Latin America Europe Nuclear Energy Nuclear Power Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology ... Food & Agriculture Safeguards Concepts](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043000/5f77754ea90c0d35805407fb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Uranium Production Cycle
• The Uranium Production Cycle (UPC) comprises
all the activities involved in the production of
natural uranium for use as fuel in nuclear energy
production and similar applications.
• Simply described, it includes uranium exploration,
feasibility studies, development of production
facilities, mining and processing, decommissioning
and remediation.
• Management of associated environmental issues
is an integral part of the whole cycle.

Our unofficial motto:
To collect and share knowledge of uranium
resources and support the development of a
sustainable uranium production cycle in
Member States.

Nuclear Fuels Task Force
Recommendations
• Review guidelines taking into account ongoing or recent changes in UNFC
• Review prior case studies and update as required
• Solicit new case studies, particularly from countries with large resource base and experience
• Anthropogenic Resources of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle
• Software/database resource modelling integrated with UNFC
• Workshops/training for application and utilization of UNFC for nuclear fuels and assistance with case studies and review of current document (test phase)
