【日本《原子能快报》1985年4月1日第3页报道】西德核化学和冶金公司最近发表了1985年铀需求量的预测。预计今年的铀需要量可望增加,因此,铀的产量和需求之间的差额将会缩小。根据西德核化学和冶金公司的调查,西方各国1984年铀的产量为38,180吨,比1983年增长4.7%。今年铀的产量将与去年大体相同,估计为33,400吨。 [Atomic Energy Express, Japan, April 1, 1985, p. 3] West German Nuclear Chemistry and Metallurgy recently published a 1985 forecast of uranium demand. The uranium requirement is expected to increase this year, so the difference between the output of uranium and the demand will be reduced. According to a survey conducted by the West German Nuclear and Metallurgical Corporation, Western countries produced 38,180 tons of uranium in 1984, an increase of 4.7% over 1983. Uranium production this year will be roughly the same as last year, estimated at 33,400 tons.
