Plans Announced For New Depleted Uranium Hexafluoride Conversion Facility :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Three Russian organisations have signed an agreement for the development of a project to build a facility in Novouralsk, about 70 km north of Yekaterinburg, for the defluorination of depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUHF).
Sate nuclear fuel company Tvel, the Central Design and Technological Institute and the Ural Electrochemical Plant said they will prepare an investment rationale and carry out engineering survey for a DUHF processing facility at the Urals Electrochemical Combine (UEKhK) site in Novouralsk.
They said plans for a new facility, which will be Russia’s third, were in line with Moscow’s policy of reducing stocks of DUHF, an unstable waste product of uranium enrichment.
