URANIUM MARKET UPDATE

April 2024

Spot Market Overview(1)

  • Activity in the global spot market declined substantially during April, with UxC reporting a total of 1.8 Mlbs. transacted as compared to 3.8 Mlbs. during March 2024. Thus far, the aggregate spot market volume for 2024 (January-April) totals 11.4 Mlbs. The spot uranium price weakened slightly ending April at US$88.00 /lb., a decrease of US$0.50 /lb. from March

Long-Term Pricing(1)

  • Two of three longer term uranium price indicators showed incremental declines during April as the 3-yr Forward price decreased to US$95.00 /lb. (March-US$97.00 /lb.), while the 5-yr Forward Price reported at US$102.00 /lb (March-US$108.00 /lb.). The Long-Term Price remained stable at US$75.00 /lb.

The U.S.(2)

  • On 30 April, the United States Senate unanimously passed "Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act (H.R. 1042)." Along with the companion legislation, "Reduce Russian Uranium Imports Act (S. 763), this legislation, if enacted by Presidential signature, prohibits the importation of Russian-sourced uranium commencing within 90 days
  • The Secretary of Energy in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce, may issue a waiver if the Secretary of Energy determines that "(i) no alternative viable source of low-enriched uranium is available to sustain the continued operation of a nuclear reactor or a United States nuclear energy company; or (ii) importation of low-enriched uranium is in the national interest." Any granted waivers shall terminate not later than January 1, 2028 when a total ban becomes effective
  • President Joe Biden is expected to now sign the legislation into law

Georgia Power(3)

  • Georgia Power announced the commercial operation of the Vogtle-4 reactor, following the completion of the Vogtle-3 reactor in July 2023. Construction of the two Westinghouse AP-1000 reactors began in 2013 but were beset with numerous delays and cost over-runs. Vogtle Units 1 & 2 have been in operation since 1987 and 1989 respectively and are currently licensed to operate for 60 years

URANIUM MARKET UPDATE

April 2024

Italy(1)

  • Italian Energy Minister, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, speaking at the "The Role of Nuclear in the Energy Transition," conference, voiced the government's support to investigate the reintroduction of nuclear power, especially small modular reactors ("SMRs"), in the country. He cited the need to meet net zero targets by 2050, as well as energy independence. Previously, Italy operated four reactors totalling 1,423 Gwe but the program was shuttered following the Chernobyl accident in 1986

Japan(2)

  • Tokyo Electric Power Company ("TEPCO") initiated fuel loading at its Kashiwazaki Unit 7 on 15 April following approval from the Japan Nuclear Regulation Authority. Subsequent to fuel loading, the facility will undergo a series of safety inspections before regulatory approval for reactor restart. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station consists of seven boiling water-type reactors with a total gross electrical capacity of 8,212 Mwe. The NPP has been offline since 2012 following the Fukushima Daiichi accident (2011). Japan has 12 operating reactors following the restart of the Takehama-2 unit in September 2023

China(3)

  • China reported a record level of nuclear generation in 2023, as nuclear power plants provided 440,000 GWh of output. The China Atomic Energy Authority reported 55 operational NPPs and 36 approved / under construction on the Chinese mainland, with a total installed capacity of 57 GWe and 44 Gwe respectively

The UAE(4)

  • Reuters reported that the United Arab Emirates ("UAE") / Emirates Nuclear Power Corporation ("ENEC") is planning to construct a second Nuclear Power Plant following the recent completion of Barakah NPP, consisting of four Korean-builtAPR-1400 reactors (Barakah-4 was connected to the grid 23 March). The associated tender could be distributed sometime this year with the target date for commercial operations being as early as 2033

Bangladesh(5)

  • In a recent meeting between the Director General of Rosatom (Russian state agency), and Bangladesh Prime Minister the topic of SMRs was tabled. The Rosatom Director General visited Bangladesh to inspect the Russian-built Rooppur Unit 1 (VVER-1200) which is planned to enter commercial operation later in 2024 to be followed by Rooppur-2 in 2026
