Implementation

All civil uranium enrichment in Europe is carried out by two international consortia. At the nuclear reactor fuel fabrication plant in Pierrelatte, France, the EURODIF plant is enrichment by gaseous diffusion. The French CEA is developing a laser enrichment process (SILVA) with a view to having it operation some time during the decade 2000-2100.
