D.6 World's fuel production
D.6.1 Uranium
Table D.12 shows the production of uranium in western countries and world pro-
duction from 1945 to 2006. Approximate data of uranium production in western
countries is extracted from the World Nuclear Association (WNA, 2012). For world
production data, it has been assumed that western countries contribute to about
69% of total production. From 2002 to 2008, world production information is di-
rectly provided by the WNA (WNA, 2012).
