Concentrations of uranium in this type of deposit typically grade to 0.01–0.015% U 3 O 8. [29] Recovery process costs are estimated at $22 to $54 per pound of U 3 O 8; higher than the market price of uranium during the 25-year period spanning the 1980s through the early first decade of the 21st century. Consequently, uranium recovery from ...
World uranium reserves in 2010. Uranium reserves are reserves of recoverable uranium, regardless of isotope, based on a set market price. The list given here is based on Uranium 2020: Resources, Production and Demand, a joint report by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
