There has been a lot of press speculation about the future of URENCO over the last six months.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some of this speculation concerns the sale of the company, while much of it is far more worrying.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a quick summary of it all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Company Reports. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Urenco has just published its financial report for 2014.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This report has just appeared on their website.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The company is looking for a new chairman.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Selling the Company.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There has also been a lot of press speculation during the last half year about the possible sale of URENCO<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

See for example: –<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

RWE CEO says no Urenco sale before H2, possibly later<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

&<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Urenco owners test market for possible sale<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

Last December we read:- <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE GOVERNMENT has distanced itself from reports that it is testing market interest in uranium enrichment company Urenco, which it part owns alongside Germany and the Netherlands.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet in May this was the headline: – <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

UK Chancellor Osborne Creates New Mechanism To Sell State Businesses<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the Plant.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While over at the Capenhurst plant it was announced that:-<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Atkins has announced that it will deliver a capital investment programme for nuclear fuel cycle company URENCO UK.’<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was also headlined in the Liverpool Echo that:-<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Urenco\u2019s Tails Management Facility in Capenhurst near Chester will not become operational until 2017 <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

This will mean that all the drums of depleted Uranium in the form of Uranium Hexafluoride will be left around the plants for a much longer time. This is despite the assurances of URENCO that the new plant to safely deal with this waste would be up and running this year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
