Die britische Regierung stellt der Urenco Gruppe knapp 200 Millionen Pfund für den Bau der ersten europäischen HALEU Anreicherungsanlage zur Verfügung. HALEU (high-assay low-enriched uranium) mit einem Anreicherungsgrad von bis zu 19,75 % wird für den Betrieb neuer Reaktorkonzepte sowie SMRs benötigt. #theenergytosucceed 🩵
The UK government is awarding £196 million to Urenco Global (subject to final approvals) to build a uranium enrichment facility in Cheshire, supporting up to 400 highly-skilled jobs during peak construction and cementing the North West as a world leader in nuclear fuel production 👷♂️ By pushing ahead with our plans outlined in the Civil Nuclear Roadmap, the UK will become a commercial producer of high-assay low enriched uranium (HALEU), increasing our energy independence ⚛ The UK will also be the first country in Europe to produce advanced nuclear fuel that we can use both domestically and export, helping us to reach our Net Zero goals by 2050 with a near limitless source of clean electricity and growing our economy in the process 📈 Learn more 👇 https://lnkd.in/ejDh-ggu
