This page provides an overview of some main nuclear companies operating worldwide and of the countries associated with their operations. These information may help international Anti-nuclear network activities to cooperate in resisting nuclear power.

Uranium market could undergo a big demand: As notified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the demand for Uranium from companies like Areva or Cameco (Canada) could rise dramatically, caused by Russian and US reserves will fall as of 2015 from providing up to 40 % of the worldwide Uranium demand to 5 %.[1]
This could support Areva's and other companies' plans for extending Uranium mining. Be aware of this in your struggles and force intensify the forces to prevent these human and environmental disastrous intentions.
