Enrichment in the United States

In its natural state, uranium does not have the energy potential to be used by nuclear power plants to create energy. It must go through a series of operations including conversion and enrichment to become usable as fuel. As a global leader in enrichment services, AREVA is currently working to bring this vital technology and expertise to the United States with the construction of a facility in Idaho.

Enrichment - A Critical Step to Develop Nuclear Fuel

Enrichment is an industrial process that increases the amount of uranium-235 to make it usable as fuel for modern nuclear power plants.

Building New Enrichment Capacity for the United States

AREVA is working to build the Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility in Idaho- a project that will provide domestic enrichment services and create a major economic boost.
