The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) is a specialized agency within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Notable publications include the annual Nuclear Energy Data which is a compilation of essential statistics on nuclear energy in OECD countries. It provides the reader with a comprehensive overview on the status of and trends in the nuclear power and fuel cycle sector. Another notable work is the annual Uranium: Resources, Production and Demand. The "Red Book", jointly prepared by the Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is the foremost world reference on uranium. This world report provides compilations of statistics on resources, exploration, production, and demand for uranium for about 50 countries, and provides an international expert analysis of industry statistics and worldwide projections of nuclear energy growth, uranium requirements, and uranium supply. Both of these publications are available only in print form and require a fee.
