Urenco USA marks enrichment milestones
Urenco USA has highlighted the completion of a successful year of advancing nuclear fuel supply in the U.S. by achieving two new milestones this month: The first production of enriched uranium above 5 percent uranium-235, and the startup of the company’s next cascade of centrifuges as part of its capacity installation program.

Measured burnup values of about 100 enriched-uramum driver-fuel elements irradiated in the Experimental Breeder Reactor II are compared with calculated values based on run-to-run subassembly-delineated transport analyses. These elements have bumups in the range of 0.3 to 1.6 at.%. The scatter of the ratios of calculated-to-measured bumups indicates that the composite precision with which measurements and calculations can be compared using current methods is from about ±5 to 10%.
