- W2918524528 abstract "China is rapidly increasing its nuclear power fleet of light water reactors and will as a result need more and more uranium fuel. For now, Beijing is following a strategy known as 'three third rule' when it comes to the nation's uranium supply: 1/3 of the uranium comes from domestic mining, 1/3 is obtained through direct international trade, and 1/3 is provided by Chinese companies mining abroad. To date, China has approximately 5% of world's identified primary uranium resources (U.S.$ <130/kg uranium) as defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency but may operate 50% of the global nuclear power fleet by 2050. Domestic unconventional uranium resources that could decrease China's dependence on foreign uranium suppliers are mostly associated with lignite, black shales and phosphate rocks. Extracting uranium from phosphate rock during fertilizer production is a well-known process that is at the edge of being monetarily profitable. Besides, this practice reduces uranium loads on agricultural soils from fertilizers drastically. In this work, we discuss potential unconventional uranium resources that could be extracted in China during phosphate rock processing. We conclude that China, the largest phosphate rock producing country in the world, could theoretically recover some 700 t unconventional uranium annually or roughly 40% of the domestically mined uranium in 2017. Most deposits show low (<30 ppm) to very low (<10 ppm) uranium concentration though that would not favor extraction. Deposits with higher (>100 ppm) uranium content exist in China, and are identified here. Uranium recovered from these deposits, and uranium recovered from imported phosphate rocks processed in China may support domestic uranium mining and as a result energy security of the Middle Kingdom." @default.
