Uranium Probable TORONTO (CP)--An Ontario department of economics report says world demand for uranium will likely revive by 1966, indi- cating recent cutbacks in Cana- dian production are temporary. The report reviews the potential demand for nuclear energy and the possible uses for uranium and concludes "the final outcome of these various projections is very promising indeed for the ura- nium industry as a whole and for that in Ontario in particular." The forecast of increased de- mand is based on proving out a reactor using natural uranium to producé commercial power. This type of reactor is being developed by Canada The report says the temporary lull will give producers time to prepare for the increase in de- mand. Adjustments taking place at the Northern Ontario commu- nity of i Lake and elsewhere "may prove to be in the interest greater stability and elliciency in the industry." SEES STEADY DEMAND The report, included in the de: partment of mines report tabled in the legislature Thursday, sug- gests the demand for uranium will be firm between 1966 and wel of Revival In '66 1970, a period in which it had beer predicted there will be little or n sizable market for uranium Canadian uranium producers have embarked on a stretchout program on existing U.S. con- tracts to help carry them over the critical pericd. | The mines de tment considers natural ura reactors provide "the most practical possibilities for the nexi 10 years, particu- larly for large-scale power gene- ration."
