Enrichment is the last, but most complex step in the processing of uranium before it is fabricated into nuclear fuel for commercial power plants. It is an enormous industrial undertaking involving technology that is both difficult and sensitive. It is a physically expansive process, requiring a very large initial capital investment and a huge infrastructure. Worldwide, there are four commercial entities engaged in uranium enrichment - AREVA (France), URENCO (Britain, the Netherlands and Germany), Tenex (Russia) and the U.S. Enrichment Corp. (USEC). 

In anticipation of the U.S.-Russian HEU agreement ending in 2013 and a forecasted increase in demand from Asia and Europe, URENCO and AREVA are building new capacity—both in the United States. And a new organization, comprised of GE, Japan’s Hitachi, and Canada’s Cameco, also hopes to build a plant based on an untried laser technology.

What is a realistic schedule for these commercial deployments? How well will the technologies perform and at what cost to suppliers and utility customers? 

The Energy Daily's newest interactive webinar will delve into this provocative subject.

Discussion Topics Include:

  • What is the future market supply and demand?
  • Types of contracts—how far out to commit, role of the spot market (if any), EUP versus SWU, bundling of services.
  • What are enrichment costs going to be for new capacity, and where will prices need to go?
  • Deployment and technological issues with new centrifuge plants, new laser enrichment.
  • Worst-case and best-case scenarios for capacity additions.
  • How will the uranium and enrichment markets interact commercially—will specifications change?
  • Plus your questions will be answered by our panel of speakers.

How does the Webinar work?


It's easy and convenient! You just need RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed on your computer. If you do not have either, please follow the instructions below to download and install them. Or if you prefer, a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to let you watch the slides and other information on the Web will suffice. No other downloads or special hardware - a dial-up connection will work fine.

  • One (1) set of materials (you may make copies for all of the persons you invited to listen to the program);
  • One (1) toll-free connection to the seminar (if you select the audio connection), and
  • One (1) Internet connection to the seminar.
  • Use speakers on your computer or speakerphone on your telephone and invite your entire staff to attend for FREE!

What equipment do I need?


For the audio connection:

  • A computer with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed. When you log into the Virtual Seminar, your computer will be taken through a brief configuration check and will let you know if you're missing any software.
  • If you do not have RealPlayer or Windows, a touch-tone telephone will work also. It works best to use a speakerphone so that others can listen too.

For the Internet connection:

  • PC: 166Mhz Pentium-based PC or better
  • Operating system: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP
  • Browser: For optimal viewing experience, we recommend using Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. However, any version of IE 4.0 or higher will work. For Netscape, only versions 4.x are supported at this time.
