Russia’s nuclear power monopoly Rosatom has started development of the Shirondukuyskoye uranium deposit in eastern Siberia, planning to produce the first uranium there in 2028, the company’s mining division said on Friday.
The deposit – located close to the city of Krasnokamensk near the border with China and Mongolia, which is dubbed the “uranium capital of Russia” – has estimated reserves of 8,000 tons of uranium and 40,000 tons of molybdenum.
