- fsh 5y agoI would argue that 2009 is not very much out of date when it comes to geology research. The sources also agree with each other: Scientific American: "According to the NEA, identified uranium resources total 5.5 million metric tons, and an additional 10.5 million metric tons remain undiscovered" World Nuclear Association: 8 million tonnes "reasonably assured and inferred resources". This does not change the conclusion that the uranium would run out in less than 20 years if used to supply 100% of the earth's primary energy consumption.
