British company Urenco to continue supplying enriched uranium to Czech nuclear plants

Urenco, a British uranium-enrichment company with plants in Germany, the Netherlands, the USA and the UK, will continue to supply uranium to Czech nuclear power plants, as the Czech semi-state energy group ČEZ has agreed on cooperation with Urenco until at least the mid-2030s, ČEZ said today.

Enriched uranium is a key fuel for nuclear power plants, one which Czechia also receives from the French company Orano. According to ČEZ, extending its cooperation with Urenco will give the company security by obtaining uranium from multiple sources, increasing the safety of nuclear power plant operations in case one of their suppliers runs into problems with uranium delivery.
