The bounty is double the weight recorded in 2019 – mainly as a result of acquisition, as well as processing of uranium into useable fuel – the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) reported on Tuesday.
The quantity of low-enriched uranium fell slightly, while the stock of uranium from reprocessing fell from 68,416 kg to zero, according to the list of Swiss stocks of nuclear materials abroad published by the SFOE. Other materials, such as thorium, depleted and highly enriched uranium and plutonium, remained unchanged in foreign stocks.
