Enrichment services
in the AREVA Group are provided
by EURODIF.
The Georges Besse plant started
industrial production in 1979
and is the most modern of the
gaseous diffusion facilities in
the world.
It currently supplies the enriched
uranium requirements of over 40
utilities world-wide. Its in-built
flexibility means it can operate
at between 20% and 100% of its
full capacity.
This allows EURODIF to optimise
its operations by coinciding periods
of peak production with cheap
electricity tariffs. From February
1999, EURODIF becomes an ˇ°eligibleˇ±
customerˇ± in a position to receive
electricity from any European-Union
utility and thus able to take
further advantage of such opportunities.
