Uranium Conversion for UF6

Access a reliable, competitive, and sustainable uranium conversion service, to a Gaseous UF₆ Form, backed by a integrated industrial platform and modern facilities.

    • Obtain uranium that meets strict specifications for enrichment: high chemical purity and gaseous UF₆ form
    • Ensure continuity of operations by securing a critical step in the nuclear fuel value chain
    • Meet safety and performance requirements while minimizing environmental impact

    • Convert your uranium concentrate into uranium tetrafluoride (UF₄), and subsequently into uranium hexafluoride (UF₆), through a two-step process operated at our industrial platform in France
    • Leverage robust industrial capabilities with an annual nominal production capacity of ~14 000 tonnes through:
      • Malvési Plant – purification and conversion of uranium concentrate into UF₄
      • Philippe Coste Plant (Tricastin) – conversion of UF₄ into gaseous UF₆ using modern processes and fluorine produced via electrolysis
    • Lower your environmental footprint through optimized technologies focused on energy efficiency and safety
    • Secure your long-term supply with a leading industrial partner covering the full front-end uranium chain
      Fully modernized facilities
      15, 000 t capacity
      • An integrated and unique industrial platform in France for complete processing from uranium concentrate to UF₆
      • Industry recognition for technical excellence
      • Among the most modern facilities in the world, commissioned in late 2018, delivering high reliability, performance, and safety standards
