HC Deb 18 July 1977 vol 935 c335W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what he estimates will be the United Kingdom requirements of uranium in 1980, 1985 and 1990.

Mr. Eadie

Reactors now in operation and under construction are estimated to require about 2,000 tonnes uranium per annum in each year between 1980 and 1990. Beyond this, there will be a requirement for the fuelling of whatever further reactors may be ordered.
