The state concern Nuclear Power of Ukraine has started negotiating with ConverDyn as to construction of the uranium conversion plant.
The project was discussed on June 23, when ComverDyn representatives visited Ukraine.
“The parties discussed the potential of joint construction of the uranium hexafluoride plant”, said the concern in its statement.
ConverDyn was created by General Atomics and Honeywell and specializes in conversion services (uranium hexafluoride manufacture).
Right now Ukraine boasts only its own uranium mining and concentrate manufacture, carried out at the Vostochniy Mining and Processing Works, a part of the Nuclear Power of Ukraine concern. (Ukrainian Metal)
