25 February 2009
On 15 February 2009, LES, URENCO'S wholly owned subsidiary, achieved a new milestone at the National Enrichment Facility.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission granted authorisation permitting receipt of the first shipment of uranium hexafluoride to the site. The material will enable further quality control testing to take place prior to full installation of cascades into the centrifuge assembly building.
