About us

Urenco is an international supplier of
enrichment services and fuel cycle
products for the civil nuclear industry,
serving utility customers worldwide who
provide low carbon electricity through
nuclear energy.

What we do


Nuclear power, alongside renewables has an important role in the clean energy transition by generating reliable, low carbon electricity and hydrogen. Urenco has a key contribution to make as a leader in enriching uranium, a key step in producing fuel for nuclear power plants.

Our customers typically supply us with natural uranium, which we then process into a form that can be used in nuclear power plants using centrifuge technology designed and deployed by Urenco. Through the flexible operation of this technology, we are also able to provide products and services beyond enrichment; for example, by conserving natural uranium and providing enriched uranium product.

We also use our technical expertise to serve the wider nuclear industry. We have subsidiaries dedicated to responsible nuclear stewardship and we produce stable isotope products with medical, industrial and research applications.
