Annual report & accounts 2017 Key facts We are an international supplier of enrichment services to utility customers worldwide who typically supply us with natural uranium7, uranium hexafluoride (UF6), which we then enrich to international specifications. Through the flexible operation of our centrifuge technology, we are able to provide products and services beyond enrichment, for example, by conserving natural uranium and providing Enriched Uranium Product (EUP).8 Our role in the nuclear industry and a closer look at the enrichment process can be seen on our website. We have played an important role in the world’s nuclear energy industry for 45 years. • We have four uranium enrichment facilities: Almelo in the Netherlands; Capenhurst in the UK; Eunice, New Mexico in the USA and Gronau in Germany. URENCO is the only company in the world to operate enrichment facilities in four countries, which offers our customers a diversity of supply. • Our Head Office is located close to London, UK. • We supply more than 50 customers in 19 countries. • We also have subsidiaries dedicated to uranium stewardship: - URENCO ChemPlants Limited, which will operate our Tails Management Facility (TMF) in the UK; - URENCO Nuclear Stewardship Limited, which provides responsible management of nuclear materials. • Our Stable Isotopes business in the Netherlands draws on our expertise and capabilities in centrifuge technology to produce a variety of highly important products for medical, industrial and research applications.
