This contains lists of countries by uranium production. The first two lists are compiled by the World Nuclear Association, and measures uranium production by tonnes mined. The last list is compiled by TradeTech, a consulting company which specializes in the nuclear fuel market.
In 2021, 20 countries produced 77%, 48,303 tons, of the world’s uranium. Kazakhstan, Canada , and Australia alone produced three-fourths of the world’s production from their mines. The following countries are the top producers of uranium, based on 2021 figures:
Which country produces the most uranium in the world? Here's a look at the most recent data on uranium production by country.
Country data on uranium production, the number of tonnes of uranium produced in various countries.
Uranium mining by country. The world's largest producer of uranium is Kazakhstan, which in 2019 produced 43% of the world's mining output. Canada was the next largest producer with a 13% share, followed by Australia with 12%. [1][2] Uranium has been mined in every continent except Antarctica.
Global uranium production stood at some 49,355 metric tons in 2022. With a production of approximately 21,227 metric tons that year, Kazakhstan is the largest single producer of uranium in the...
Nearly three-quarters of the world's production of uranium from mines is from Kazakhstan, Canada, Australia and Namibia. Another 11 countries contribute the rest.
Key findings from the data include: Kazakhstan overwhelmingly leads in uranium production with an output of 22,967 tons, which is nearly thrice more than the combined production of the second and third largest producers, Australia and Namibia.
Uranium is the main raw material fuelling all nuclear fission reactors today. Countries around the world use it to reliably generate low-carbon electricity, process heat and hydrogen as part of their plans to reduce carbon emissions and increase energy security and supply.
Given its vast uranium deposits, Canada has produced the most uranium worldwide since 1945. This graphic shows cumulative uranium production by country in modern history, with data from the World Nuclear Association.
