Ukraine has shipped its first batch of uranium to Canada under an agreement signed between Energoatom and Cameco.
The agreement presupposes the supply of all uranium extracted by Vostochniy Mining and Processing Works to Canada and its further conversion into natural uranium hexafluoride (UF6).
Such a process is necessary to prepare uranium for its further processing at URENCO (UK) and then at Westinghouse for nuclear fuel manufacture. (Ukrainian metal)
