  • •Copenhagen Atomics and Urenco are developing a uranium deconversion facility in Copenhagen.
  • •The facility will convert UF6 into UF4 for molten salt reactor fuel production.
  • •Copenhagen Atomics aims to supply fuel salts to its reactors and other MSR developers.

Copenhagen Atomics and Urenco have signed an agreement to develop a uranium deconversion facility in Copenhagen. This facility will convert uranium hexafluoride (UF6) into uranium tetrafluoride (UF4), which is necessary for molten salt reactor (MSR) fuel production. Copenhagen Atomics will source enriched UF6 and handle the deconversion process to manufacture high-purity fuel salts for its reactors and other MSR developers. The facility aims to establish a commercial fuel supply chain for MSRs, addressing supply-chain needs as the industry progresses from research to commercial demonstration. Details on the facility's construction schedule and processing capacity have not been disclosed. The collaboration marks a significant step in the advanced nuclear technology sector.
