Review of the Environmental Impact of Nuclear Energy
www.iaea.orgThe 'nuclear fuel cycle' refers to the entire programme from the mining and milling of uranium, through the manufacture of fuel elements for the reactor, transport and reprocessing of irradiated fuel, to the management of wastes produced in all steps of the cycle The environmental impacts associated with all these steps are reviewed in this paper.

Nuclear Fuel Cycle
www.iaea.orgpower reactors. The cycle starts with the mining of uranium and ends with the disposal of nuclear waste. The raw material for today’s nuclear fuel is uranium. It must be processed through a series of steps to produce an efficient fuel for generating electricity. Used fuel also needs to be taken care of for reuse and disposal.
