Dynamics of uranium production with different cost (initial rate of k0=4.1%/year) which corresponds to the WNA-23 base scenario (The Nuclear Fuel Report 2023). The calculations are based on formulas (3) and (4) with the 2021 initial data (see Fig. 4). The dashed line is the dynamics of production for low-cost deposits with a higher initial rate (k0=6.5%/year).
