Regulations
Our commitment to safety is embodied in everything we do
URENCO’s focus is on providing safe, cost effective and reliable uranium enrichment services for civil power generation within a framework of environmental, social and corporate responsibility. Our commitment to safety is total. All URENCO sites are regularly and thoroughly inspected by the appropriate authorities working to strict governmental and international controls.
The Government of every country in which URENCO operates has undertaken, in international agreements, to protect nuclear material and centrifuge technology. Wherever we operate, URENCO is regulated by appropriate government authorities. These authorities are responsible for approving the sites’ security plans, and monitor and inspect the sites to ensure compliance.
This control and regulation is designed to deliver a number of vitally important safeguards. These include ensuring that uranium is not misappropriated, and that total quantities are accounted for accurately. It is also undertaken to ensure that the highly engineered technology for producing enriched uranium is not acquired by unauthorised persons, and that the plant produces enrichment for civil purposes only.
