Urenco Eunice
History
Copied directly from UUSA site - to be edited...
Our history begins in 1992, when the Treaty of Washington paved the way for Urenco’s centrifuge technology to be deployed in the United States.
The company originally planned to operate in the state of Louisiana, but due to overwhelming community support, was built in Eunice, New Mexico. Because the original plant was planned in Louisiana, the official licensee is Louisiana Energy Services, or LES; but our operations are based in southeastern New Mexico and we do business as UUSA - The National Enrichment Facility.
UUSA was the first new nuclear project in the U.S. in almost 30 years. We invested around $5 billion our facility, which was one of the largest construction projects in the state of New Mexico.
Our facility was the first project to be issued a combined construction and operating license by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Construction began in December 2006 and was completed in three phases. During construction, UUSA logged over 17 million work hours without a Lost Time Incident (LTI), a testament to our strong safety culture.
The site began producing enriched uranium in June 2010 and the first customer delivery was completed in March 2012. After 12 years of operation, UUSA has never missed a customer delivery and, in May of 2022, our facility celebrated our 500th safe and successful product shipment.
As it stands today, our site has sixty-four cascades online and produces about 5M SWU per year, which is sufficient capacity to meet approximately one-third of the annual U.S. demand for enrichment services.

Socio-economic impact analysis
In 2018, the University of Central Lancashire carried out a socio-economic impact analysis of Urenco’s UK enrichment facility and global head office, located close to London in the UK.
It stated that:
“The greatest contribution made by Urenco, in terms of supplier spend, salaries, workforce and new facility development, is clearly concentrated in the north, west and and north Wales, in the region that is home to the UK civil nuclear industry and the emerging ‘Nuclear Arc’. From Sellafield to Wylfa, Urenco remains a significant presence and contributor of substantial value to the region and industry.”
Supporting our local communities
Copied from UUSA - to be edited...
We value the good relations we have built with our local community and are proud to be seen as a good community partner.
To support our local community and wider regional initiatives, we provide a variety of sponsorships and donations, totaling $500,000 each year.
The areas that we focus on are education, the environment, healthy living, and culture. We are particularly proud that UUSA employees have been the largest contributor to local United Way organizations since 2008, giving over $2.3 million to the United Way of Lea County.
