Urenco Global

In the run-up to #COP30, our CEO, Boris Schucht highlights that without nuclear, it will be impossible to meet global #ClimateTargets. During a conversation with Net Zero Nuclear he emphasised the benefits of #nuclear working alongside renewables to bring about the transition.

One key highlight from last month was the World Nuclear Association’s 50th annual symposium, which we were proud to attend as sponsors. Our CEO, Boris Schucht, contributed to the Executive Plenary Session on ‘Leading Nuclear into New Markets’. And our Head of Advanced Fuels, Magnus Mori, delivered a keynote presentation on the role of #SMRs in meeting industrial energy demands. It was great to showcase how #NuclearEnergy is supporting many sectors in delivering #NetZero goals.

At Urenco, we’re encouraged to see major players in the technology sector - like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta - embracing nuclear power as a cornerstone of their energy strategies. The recent update on Amazon’s Cascade Advanced Energy Facility - developed with X-energy and Energy Northwest - marks another milestone in the deployment of #SMRs to meet the energy demands of the digital age. With #DataCentres becoming increasingly energy-intensive, #NuclearEnergy offers a scalable and sustainable solution to support the backbone of our connected world. Tech companies are now leading the way in recognising the value of #NuclearInnovation in powering AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure. As a key global supplier of #AdvancedFuels, Urenco welcomes this progress and supports the broader transition to advanced nuclear technologies that will help industries achieve their #NetZero goals while ensuring #EnergySecurity.

Today, we’ve announced another win for security of supply: we’re scaling-up uranium enrichment capacity at our site in The Netherlands - now committing to 1.5 million SWU through two expansion phases. The second phase features the construction of an additional centrifuge hall representing another 750,000 SWU and is expected to come online from 2030. This move is part of our global capacity programme, which now totals 2.5 million SWU of new capacity, including active cascades in the USA. As #NuclearEnergy continues to gain global momentum, our sites in Almelo (The Netherlands) Eunice (USA) Gronau, (Germany) and Capenhurst (UK), are strengthening #EnergySecurity and supporting a reliable, Western fuel supply chain.

On #WorldMenopauseDay, we're celebrating our amazing Menopause Champions who raise awareness and offer vital support to colleagues navigating menopause. Hear from Jane about why our Champions are important in creating an #inclusive and supportive workplace here at Urenco:

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) continues its participation in #G20 in South Africa – where is has shined a spotlight on the critical role of #NuclearEnergy in achieving #EnergySecurity and #NetZero. The G20 process focused on how a combination of policy, finance and infrastructure can enable the scaling up of nuclear energy in emerging economies as part of resilient and affordable #EnergySystems. Urenco is pleased to see this confirmation of our belief that nuclear is a critical enabler of a #LowCarbon future. We’re continuing to work with the wider sector to ensure that increased demand for nuclear power is met with a trusted, secure supply of #NuclearFuel.

Michael Bryant and Rachel Johnson from Urenco’s Commercial Department recently hosted a focused fuel seminar in Seoul, South Korea, highlighting the company’s developments in supporting the expanding nuclear market and strengthening the low-enriched uranium (LEU) supply chain. The event also featured a session on #AdvancedFuels, during which Urenco discussed both the challenges and opportunities shaping the sector. During the seminar, Urenco announced that it will become the first Western commercial supplier of #HALEU (high-assay low-enriched uranium), marking a significant milestone for the Western nuclear industry and the development of advanced fuels. The seminar was well attended by key Korean stakeholders, including representatives from KHNP, SK Innovation, POSCO International, KAERI, DL E&C, interested embassy counterparts, Doosan Enerbility, Mott MacDonald, the Korea Atomic Industrial Forum (KAIF), and others – all expressing strong interest in the emerging advanced fuels market. The event was a great success, and Urenco looks forward to continued collaboration with these partners in the future. Urenco extends its sincere thanks to the British Embassy in Seoul, the Department for Business and Trade, and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero for their invaluable support in organising and delivering this successful event.

Financing nuclear has been a hot topic since momentum in the industry picked up substantially in the last few years, especially with regard to its global offering on #energysecurity. How can things be done differently, tweaked and where do we stand on #SMRs? Urenco's CEO Boris Schucht will be part of a panel looking closely at the issues involved at WNE 2025 👇

Inspiring the next generation of scientists at Urenco Capenhurst. We were delighted to welcome members of the Urenco Young Scientist Centre (UYSC) from The Royal Institution our valued #SocialImpact partner, to our Capenhurst site. Their visit offered a unique opportunity to explore Urenco’s role in the nuclear fuel cycle and how we contribute to producing #sustainable, #LowCarbonEnergy through enrichment. Together, we’re designing a brand-new #STEM workshop for 15–18 year olds at the UYSC — an imaginative science laboratory in the heart of London where young people can ignite their passion for scientific discovery. Let’s keep inspiring curiosity and #innovation — one young person at a time. Find out more here: https://ow.ly/9E3h50Xamea #nuclear
