The interrelations between the location of Uranian rings and the strongest resonances from 10 satellites are studied. It is shown that ring distribution is not random. The rings are generally located 125-250 km from resonances. The statistical significance of the concentration of rings at these distances from resonances is 3.5 sigma. This confirms the model of ring formation at the boundary of resonance spiral waves in the Uranian protodisk. The correlation coefficiant between the number of rings and the number of lower-order resonances in any 1000-km interval is 0.84 + or - 0.08.
