Research of suitable mining methods for nuclear raw material deposits

Energy demand is increasing rapidly and in direct proportion to the human population. Nowadays, energy resources are having trouble meeting the needs of humanity. This year's needs are now met by using the resources of the coming years, which is an indication that we are constantly going backwards in the field of energy. That's why humanity has started to search for alternative energy and created new sources such as producing energy from renewable and nuclear raw materials. Nuclear energy is one of the most important and most efficient energy sources today. Because both environmentally friendly and large energy production with zero carbon ideology is possible with nuclear energy. Uranium and thorium, which occur naturally in nature, are required as raw materials for nuclear energy. Our country should participate in this race and take steps to minimize our dependence on foreign energy. When we look at it from this perspective, within the scope of this thesis, a report of our country's own nuclear raw material resources has been prepared and evaluations have been made regarding which mining methods can be used to produce its own resources.
