Urenco Deutschland is Urenco’s German enrichment facility. It is located close to the Dutch/German border in North Rhine Westphalia, around 40km from our Dutch enrichment facility, Urenco Nederland.
At our facility, we enrich uranium for low carbon power generation using centrifuge technology designed and deployed by Urenco. Like all our enrichment facilities, we operate within a framework of high environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance standards.
Sustainability is at the very heart of who we are and what we do. Nuclear power plays an important role in meeting the world’s low carbon energy demands and its production requires processes that are efficient, safe and cost effective.

History
The first enrichment plant at Urenco Deutschland began operations in August 1985. By the beginning of 1998, the plant reached its original capacity of 1,000 tSW/a. In February 2005, a licence for a second enrichment plant was granted, allowing for our current production capacity.
