Deal agreed for French firm to provide uranium enrichment services to Dukovany

French company Orano is set to provide uranium enrichment services to Dukovany nuclear power plant, its operator, ČEZ, said on Tuesday. Russia’s TVEL was previously responsible for this work.

ČEZ said it had concluded the agreement during a visit to Prague by France’s president, Emmanuel Macron.

Orana already handles uranium enrichment for Czechia’s second nuclear power station, Temelín.

ČEZ said last year that it would cease working with Russian companies in this area for security reasons related to the war in Ukraine.
