Enriching stable isotopes: Alternative use for Urenco technology

Creators

  • 1. URENCO-NL, Almelo (Netherlands)

Description

The International Urenco Group utilizes a technologically advanced centrifuge process to enrich uranium in the fissionable isotope 235U. The group operates plants in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany and currently holds a 10% share of the multibillion dollar world enrichment market. In the early 1990s, Urenco embarked on a strategy of building on the company's uniquely advanced centrifuge process and laser isotope separation (LIS) experience to enrich nonradioactive isotopes colloquially known as stable isotopes. This paper summarizes the present status of Urenco's stable isotopes business
