Uranium chemistry, a key stage in the nuclear fuel cycle
COMURHEX Pierrelatte: from UF4 to UF6
Located on the Tricastin nuclear site in France’s Rhône valley, the COMURHEX Pierrelatte plant converts uranium tetrafluoride (UF4) originating from the COMURHEX Malvési site into uranium hexafluoride (UF6). This conversion is the last step in the uranium concentrate conversion process before enrichment.
Operations: the final step in the conversion of uranium
COMURHEX Pierrelatte converts the UF4 produced at the COMURHEX Malvési site into UF6. The fluorine required to operate the plant is produced on site.
