核能矿产资源是指铀资源和具潜在应用前景的钍资源，目前主要是指铀资源。全球铀资源分布的不均衡性，势必需要通过市场调节供求。建设核工业强国必须要有强有力的核能矿产资源供应能力做保障。我国核能矿产资源发展的战略目标应是禀赋与掌控复合型的强国。核能矿产资源强国的主要标志应包括国内资源保障能力、科技实力、企业实力、国际经略能力、可持续发展潜力五个方面。要实现核能矿产资源强国，需要实施一批重大科技创新工程和重大应用示范工程，需要建设一批千吨级铀资源开发基地，需要积极“走出去”开展国际合作，特别是加强与“一带一路”国家的合作，需要国家在科技创新、产业发展、海外开发等方面给予必要的政策支持。

Nuclear energy mineral resources refer to uranium resources and thorium resources with potential application prospects. At present, it mainly refers to uranium resources. With an unbalanced global distribution, the supply and demand of the uranium resources will inevitably be adjusted through the market. To build a competitive nuclear industry, a strong supply capacity of the nuclear energy mineral resources is required. A great power of nuclear energy mineral resources should possess both resource endowment and resource management capabilities. The main indicators for a great power of nuclear energy mineral resources should include domestic resource support capacity, scientific and technological strength, enterprise strength, international management and planning abilities, and sustainable development potentials. To become a great power of nuclear energy mineral resources, China should implement a number of major scientific and technological innovation projects and major application demonstration projects; build a number of 1000-ton uranium resources development bases; participate in international cooperation by actively “going global”, especially cooperation with the “Belt and Road” countries; and provide policy support for scientific and technological innovation, industrial development, and overseas development.
