Significant Nuclear Power Related Africa, Asia, Australia, and India Links

The UIC provides a lot of very useful information about the nuclear fuel cycle, fact and data sheets regarding use of uranium as a fuel. The centre also has a number of very informative position papers, including such topics as enrichment, ships, plutonium. A significant contribution is the on-line text, Nuclear Electricity, which describes many portions of the fuel cycle with numerous tables and graphs. Australia is a major source of uranium.
