Concluded CRP: Geochemical and Mineralogical Characterization of Uranium and Thorium Deposits (CRP T11007)
(World News Egypt)

A long-term, sustainable supply of uranium (and potentially thorium in the future) is an essential part of the nuclear fuel cycle. It is also important to ensure that the mining, extraction and processing of these resources are efficient and environmentally friendly. A three-year IAEA coordinated research project (CRP) on geochemical and mineralogical characterization of uranium and thorium, has recently concluded, helping experts understand and improve the evaluation of these deposits, with possible implications for better processing and...
