Uranium imports to stay on track

Discovery of deposit aids national supply amid nuclear power drive

Despite Sunday's announcement that China has found a large uranium ore deposit in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, energy experts are saying the discovery won't lead to the country's importing less of the radioactive material.

That's especially true, they said, as the country works to resume previously stalled nuclear energy projects.

"In the coming years, China's demand for the radioactive ore will surge with the booming development of nuclear power," said Lin Zong, a researcher at the Development and Research Center of the China Geological Survey.

"The deposit won't reduce the country's imports of uranium."

He said uranium is a substance of strategic importance to China. The more of it the country has, the better, he added.
