(Beijing Comprehensive News) China Nuclear Industry Geological Bureau said that a number of 10,000 -ton to 100,000 -ton uranium mines were discovered, and the supply of natural uranium was initially established.
According to CCTV News, Chen Junli, director of the China Nuclear Industry Geological Bureau, said at the first International Natural Uranium Industry Development Forum last Saturday (October 28) that China has established a "sky -deep" integrated uranium mining survey technology, which accumulated cumulative accumulationPromote multiple large, extra large uranium mines.Over the past ten years, the reserves of new uranium ore resource accounted for one -third of the total amount of the total amount, and China can fully ensure the demand for natural uranium for nuclear energy development.
It is reported that in recent years, China has formed a complete industrial chain covering geology, selection, smelting, and processing in the natural uranium industry.Natural uranium guarantee supply system.
Chen Junli pointed out that the development of China's natural uranium industry has shown a new look, industrial technology has continued to innovate, and the exploration and development of sandstone -type uranium resource exploration and development has reached the forefront of the world. China's domestic resource protection potential has expanded.The leap of one ton ore to "one person more ton ore".
Uranium is a key raw material for nuclear fission. One kilogram of uranium 235 fully fission will lose about 0.09%of the quality. The energy released is equivalent to burning 2700 tons of high -quality coal, which is the absolute main fuel of global nuclear power.Uraniums are widely used in military and civilian fields, such as aircraft carriers, submarines' uranium nuclear reactors, atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.
