Ukraine plans uranium production and recycling investments

ByRod Adams

According to a Jan 28, 2007 article titled Ukraine plans to raise uranium output published in Hindu Times, Ukraine is planning a 75% increase in its uranium production within the next three years.

The article also indicates that Ukraine is investigating the possibility of building nuclear fuel recycling facilities and is planning to achieve nuclear fuel supply self sufficiency by 2015. Traditionally, Ukraine has depended on imported nuclear fuel from Russia to supply the five nuclear plants that currently provide about 50% of the country’s electricity supply..
