Urenco has signed a significant new contract for the long-term supply of enrichment services with Ukraine national nuclear operator Energoatom, helping to strengthen the country’s energy security and independence.

Representatives from Energoatom and Urenco signed the contract at the World Nuclear Exhibition 2023 in Paris.

Urenco, a British-German-Dutch nuclear fuel consortium headquartered in the UK, said the contract offers a secure and diverse supply, fuelling the nuclear reactors in Ukraine operated by Energoatom, which generate over half of the country’s electricity and are vital for a reliable source of electricity.
