Enrichment services at Urenco Deutschland
At our facility, we enrich uranium for low carbon power generation using centrifuge technology designed and developed by Urenco. Like all our enrichment facilities, we operate within a framework of high environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance standards.
The first enrichment plant at Urenco Deutschland began operations in August 1985. By the beginning of 1998, the plant reached its original capacity of 1,000 tSW/a. In February 2005, a licence for a second enrichment plant was granted, allowing for our current production capacity.
Urenco Technology and Development
In 2020, our Technology and Development function was created to bundle our technology capacities and business development activities across the organisation, as well as decomissioning, reuse and disposal of assets requirements. The establishment of this function is an important part of our strategy. Primarily based at the Uren co Technology Centre in Gronau, UTD consist of a multi-disciplinary group of employees of different nationalities. Parts of the function are also based at our other sites - for example, Urenco Nuclear Stewardship link in the UK.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the very heart of who we are and what we do. Nuclear power plays an important role in meeting the world's low carbon energy demands and its production requires processes that are efficient, safe and cost effective.
