Uzbekistan to produce uranium with France's Cogema
| |
Uzbekistan's Navoiy Mining
and Metallurgical Plant (NGMK) and France's state-owned nuclear fuel
producer Cogema will set up a joint uranium-producing venture, an NGMK
official said late on Monday.
"We have carried out investigative work and got promising results," NGMK
General Director Nikolai Kuchersky told reporters.
He said the companies planned to begin joint uranium production at the Sugraly
deposit, some 450 km (280 miles) west of the Uzbek capital Tashkent. The
deposit has proven reserves of 38,000 tonnes of uranium.
NGMK is Uzbekistan's only producer of nuclear fuel and exports its entire
output.
The Central Asian state of 24 million produced 1,900 tonnes of uranium last
year and plans to boost production to 3,500 tonnes by the year 2000.
NGMK estimates Uzbekistan's total proven uranium reserves at 80,000 tonnes
and probable reserves at 178,000 tonnes.
