Enrichment services and fuel cycle products

We provide safe, cost effective and reliable uranium enrichment services and fuel cycle products for power generation within a framework of high environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance standards.

Our customers typically supply us with natural uranium, uranium hexafluoride, which we then enrich to international specifications, using centrifuge technology designed and deployed by Urenco. Through the flexible operation of this technology, we are also able to provide products and services beyond enrichment.

Responsible nuclear stewardship

We take our uranium stewardship responsibility very seriously, which is why we have subsidiaries dedicated to overseeing our work in this area.

Stable isotopes

Our stable isotopes business utilises our expertise in centrifuge technology to produce isotope products with social, environmental and commercial value.

Micro modular reactor technology

In collaboration with a consortium of partners, we have created a conceptual design for a micro modular reactor.
