2011 Uranium: A review of uranium mining in Africa (PDF Report)
As of February 1, 2011, 443 nuclear reactors were being operated globally for electricity generation. A further 62 new nuclear plants were under construction in 14 countries. And, with more and more governments acknowledging that nuclear power can produce reasonably priced baseload electricity that is, in effect, free of greenhouse-gas emissions, the prospects for growth in nuclear energy production are expected to grow along with the demand for uranium. Currently, one-fifth of all uranium globally is mined in Africa, and production is expected to double in the next two years. This report examines uranium mining on the African continent, highlighting activities in major African producers.
