Die Ausweitung der westlichen Urananreichungskapazitäten kommt voran: Urenco hat im Werk Eunice (New Mexico, USA) die ersten Zentrifugen installiert, Orano den Grundstein für die Erweiterung der Anreicherungsanlage Georges Besse 2 gelegt. world-nuclear-news.org/articles/ura...
Uranium enrichment services provider Urenco has installed the first new centrifuges as part of an expansion of its plant in Eunice, New Mexico. Meanwhile, Orano has laid the foundation stone of the ex...

Which IIRC was a development of the gen 1 (gen2) Urenco design. Evolved 1960s/70s tech. Is it as efficient as a modern design, surely not, but does that matter? An achievable technology that gets the job done is frequently more valuable than a development project. Its worked for Iran, Pak, DPRK.
Going thru Nuclear Museum’s webpage (I forgot to archive & transcribe in summer 😑)… …reminded (of many things) that one of the “energy exhibits” is sponsored by Thorium Energy Alliance. Another by URENCO. Another by PNM. Etc. “industry showroom” is what one staff member called that section
Urenco*. Like maybe yes they would do better going way simpler, but also... I'm still not convinced. I'm not sure any design would have given them an easy path into the market, which I view as the larger issue at hand
I should clarify that it would be the second operating enrichment plant in the country of any owner. The only one right now is in New Mexico, under Urenco
Not the same firm but a very similar name. The Cheshire one is Urenco. The Boris one is entangled with very dubious characters. My point was that the State has no control inside Freeports, which might as well be pirate kingdoms. Urenco has been criticised over safety concerns.
"Urenco is one of the few companies in the world that enriches uranium. It’s one of an even smaller group of enrichers that aren’t owned by the Russian, Chinese or Iranian governments. It plays a key role in the western world’s nuclear fuel cycle." […]
"The best alternative to a dangerous proliferation of national [enrichment] programs would be a multinational consortium such as a URENCO for the Middle East."🤔
