The paper reports on the present evaluation of uranium reserves and discusses different possibilities of the efficiency of fissile fuel use including the possibility of fuel reprocessing, MOX fuel application and breeder reactors deployment. The possibility of thorium applications and uranium extraction from law grade ores and other material streams (phosphoric acid, copper leaching solution) are discussed as well.
