Large-scale plans on nuclear power 

generation development

�China ± six-fold by 2020 �India ± five-fold by 2020 

� more than 50 new countries are willing 

«.to build NPP¶s

Financial crisis� Lack of internal investment resources due

to fall of Uranium prices

� Limited access to external credit 

resources

Growth of demand for uranium,

SWU and fabrication services

Disbalance

of demand and supply of nuclear fuel cycle services

Need

for security of nuclear fuel supply

Risks

of failures in the supply chain

Global Prospects

Correction of uranium mines,

enrichment and fabricationcapacities development plans

No additional expenses for utility

related to separate contracting

(additional personnel, logistics

expenses, etc.)

Transfer of risks of uranium and SWU procurement and of change incommercial terms of procurement when switching to new fuel, to the FA

supplier 

Opportunity for the utility to get

cumulative discounts
