【本刊2008年3月综合报道】随着美国核能的复兴,为了能在美国未来的铀浓缩市场中占据更大的份额,世界各大铀浓缩企业正竞相在美国建设铀浓缩厂。美国铀浓缩公司(USEC)正在俄亥俄州派克顿建设一座离心铀浓缩厂。该厂已于2007年5月正式开始动工建设,预计将在2009年下半年开始投入商业运行,并在2012年达到380万SWU/a的设计生产能力。
As the revival of U.S. nuclear energy, major uranium enrichment companies in the world are competing to build uranium enrichment plants in the United States in order to gain a larger share of the future uranium enrichment market in the United States. USEC is building a centrifuge uranium enrichment plant in Parktown, Ohio. The plant was officially started construction in May 2007 and is expected to begin commercial operation in the second half of 2009 and reach the designed production capacity of 3.8 million SWU / a in 2012.
