This new contract will support the first six years of the 3.2 GW power station’s operation and will be serviced mainly from our Capenhurst site in the UK.
Framatome has, meanwhile, signed a nuclear fuel fabrication contract with Sizewell, and both mark a major step forward in strengthening the UK’s energy security.
The announcement was made on Monday, October 13.
Urenco CEO Boris Schucht said: “The importance of Sizewell C in the UK’s energy future cannot be underestimated, and Urenco is proud to have been selected as the fuel supplier of choice.
“This will support the millions in economic contributions we make to the UK every year through the enrichment site we have in Cheshire, one of four such sites we have globally, as well as helping to grow skills in the nuclear industry, create jobs and strengthen supply chains.”
