Becasue of the uranium demand for military use being curtailed, the world production of, uranium has been decreased in the past a few years. This paper discusses the present situation in such countries as Canada, U.S.A., South Africa, Australia and Japan in reference to uranium resources of those nations.<BR>In the United States of America, the prospecting of vein type deposit formed in the Pre-Cambrian was not succeeded in her early days of uranium hunt. However, since 1958, a number of sedimentary type uranium deposits were discovered as a result of placing emphasis of search on this type of depsoits.<BR>In Japan, the prospecting. was first concentrated on the vein type depsoits around Okayama and Tottori prefectures and then on the sedimentary type. Ningyo-toge and Togo depsoits were discovered and the total ore reserves of the country is now estimated at 2, 871, 000 tons. Though the term “slow-down” was once used for nuclear power generation, the rapid promotion is required in this field. In order to meet the sharp increase of energy demand, a considerable amount of uranium is needed. Natural uranium produces plutonium, a new fuel. All in all, prospecting of uranium is to be continued vigorously.
