Today, after 33 years of uninterrupted operation, EURODIF's Georges Besse enrichment plant, located in the Tricastin site in France's Drôme department and operated by AREVA, permanently ceased production at the end of the shutdown process begun last May 14.
The EURODIF plant has been a showpiece in the global market for uranium ever since it was commissioned in 1979. Using the gaseous diffusion process, the most efficient enrichment technology at the time it was built, the site met demand from nearly 100 nuclear reactors around the world, the equivalent of one quarter of world demand.
