When people think about energy and health, they don't always consider the impact of air pollution. By reducing reliance on more polluting energy sources, nuclear has helped prevent around two million deaths linked to air pollution, with the potential to avert an additional seven million by 2050. Electricity from low-carbon nuclear power doesn't just support climate goals – it can also contribute to cleaner air and healthier communities. #nuclear# #energy# #PublicHealth# #ClimateGoals# #sustainability#

Supporting local communities is a central pillar of Urenco's social impact programme. We're delighted that a recent Head Office donation helped @wraysburycc celebrate its centenary. One of our colleagues took to the field in a special match against @MCCOfficial and young players were able to enjoy a free BBQ as part of the festivities. We're proud to support organisations that foster community, inclusion and connection. #SocialImpact# #Sustainability# #nuclear#

Thank you U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright for joining us today to celebrate the future expansion of Urenco USA. We're proud to invest in America's energy future and strengthen the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain. #EnergySecurity# #NuclearEnergy# #UrencoUSA#

The shipment of Radiant's Kaleidos microreactor to Idaho National Laboratory represents another significant step forward for advanced nuclear #innovation# in the United States. This next phase of full-scale testing is intended to demonstrate the reactor's future operational readiness. As @RadiantNuclear progresses towards commercial deployment, Urenco is proud to play a role through our agreement to supply #HALEU# enrichment services, supporting #AdvancedReactor# development, strengthening long-term #EnergySecurity#, and helping deliver the next generation of low-carbon #nuclear# technologies. #AdvancedFuels# #EnrichedUranium# #energy#

In this interview with Reuters, our CEO Boris Schucht called for more certainty in the European Union over its approach to Russian #nuclear# fuel. Boris said it was difficult to make investment decisions when it was still unclear of the role Russia would play as a supplier in the long term. This was ultimately a decision for policymakers, he said, but greater clarity on the implementation of REPowerEU and the future role of Russian nuclear fuel would send a clear signal to the market. The US and UK have already taken legislative steps to reduce reliance on Russian uranium in the nuclear fuel supply chain by 2028. More here: #EnergySecurity# #EnergyIndependence# #Nuclear# #Energy#

Ever seen those huge white clouds rising from a nuclear power station's cooling towers and assumed it was pollution? You're not alone - but it’s actually just water vapour. It’s a common misconception that nuclear power is detrimental to the environment – but in reality, nuclear produces very low lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions whilst generating large amounts of reliable, round-the-clock electricity. Urenco is committed to reducing global carbon emissions through the supply of nuclear fuel, also with a low-carbon footprint, as we reduce our own emissions to achieve net zero by 2040. By supporting the transition away from fossil fuels, nuclear has an important role to play in delivering a clean energy future. #nuclear# #energy# #NetZero# #sustainability#

Congratulations to @DeepFission on achieving @ENERGY approval of the Nuclear Safety Design Agreement for its Gravity Reactor 👏⚛️ The reactor, which is part of the US Dept of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program, now goes forward to the next stage. We're proud to support this innovative underground SMR technology through our agreement, announced earlier this year, to supply LEU fuel from @urencousa for demonstration activities and initial operations.

Today we've published our half-year results for 2026. The highlights include another rise in our Order Book as operators and utilities strive to meet the growing electricity demand which can be met via #NuclearEnergy# in key markets. This includes AI and data centres. And traditional markets are also seeing a rise in demand to meet domestic #energy# requirements. More here, including commentary from our CEO Boris Schucht: #FinancialResults# #HalfYear#

Congratulations to our customer, @valaratomics, on its announcement of new funding. Following its recent achievement of criticality with the Ward 250 #microreactor#, this latest milestone reflects the growing momentum behind the company's vision for scalable, resilient clean energy solutions. Valar was one of Urenco's earliest #AdvancedFuels# customers as we expanded our capabilities to support the emerging reactor technologies sector. We're proud to be strengthening our partnership and continuing to provide the fuel cycle services that will help enable its ambitious growth plans.

Can artificial intelligence help us better understand and protect water resources? The IAEA is exploring this through a Coordinated Research Project that combines AI and isotope hydrology to improve water resource management. By integrating isotope data with machine learning, satellite observations, and environmental monitoring, scientists can gain deeper insights into groundwater systems, identify emerging trends, and support evidence-based decisions for sustainable water management. As growing water demand puts increasing pressure on freshwater resources, innovative tools like AI can help improve how we monitor and manage this vital resource. 🔗 Read more:

What does a sustainable nuclear future look like? Finland may be providing an answer. The country has taken another significant step towards operating the world's first deep geological repository for used fuel, following a positive safety assessment. A milestone decades in the making, it highlights the importance of long-term planning and robust regulation in supporting the future of nuclear energy. It also reinforces an important fact: nuclear is one of the few industries that incorporates long-term waste management and disposal planning into its regulatory and funding frameworks from the outset. With a clear disposal pathway and relatively small waste volumes, responsible waste management remains a key strength of the sector.

From restart to rebuild For years, Japan's #nuclear# conversation has focused on reactor restarts, but recent developments suggest the focus is now shifting towards long-term fleet renewal. Japan has formally progressed plans to replace ageing reactors with next-generation units, supporting the supply of reliable electricity as demand increases. Notably, the government points to the expected growth of #AI# data centres and advanced manufacturing as key drivers of the country's future power needs. It reflects a wider global trend: as economies continue to electrify and demand accelerates, countries are looking decades ahead and recognising the role nuclear #energy# can play in delivering secure, low-carbon power.

Urenco Isotopes is exploring new opportunities for collaboration and demonstrating how its expertise can provide value to such a diverse range of industries and emerging markets. #AdvancedMaterials# #nuclear# #energy#

One-off political announcements and investment decisions won't deliver a nuclear revival. That's a key takeaway from a new @CEPS_thinktank report on the future of nuclear energy in Europe. The report concludes that durable, long-term political commitment, regulatory predictability and clear financing frameworks will be essential to turning ambition into deployment. As Sarah Forman, Urenco's Head of Strategy & Corporate Development, has said: "There's a really big opportunity for governments to send a powerful signal that gives the certainty for that investment... standing up and saying very clearly that nuclear is going to be part of our energy mix for a very long time." Sustained, consistent policy signals can help unlock investment across the supply chain and ensure the industry is ready to support growing energy demand.
