Facility
Urenco Capenhurst Enrichment Plant (Cheshire, UK)
Urenco UK enrichment facility at Capenhurst, Cheshire, UK. Capacity ~4,500 tSW/year. Capenhurst is also the site of a planned HALEU (High Assay Low-Enriched Uranium) facility targeting 10 tonnes HALEU/year by 2031 — the first dedicated HALEU enrichment facility in Europe. HALEU (uranium enriched to 5–19.75% U-235) is required for next-generation nuclear reactors (Kairos Power, TerraPower Natrium, X-energy). Capenhurst was historically a UK gas diffusion enrichment site before transitioning to centrifuge technology under Urenco.
