Overview
Uranium hexafluoride (UF6) is an essential component of the nuclear fuel cycle. UF6 is produced in the “front end” of the nuclear fuel cycle, after the uranium ore is mined, milled and refined. Solstice uses its proprietary dry fluoride volatility process – recognized for its efficiency, reliability and safety – to produce UF6. After this conversion process, the UF6 is enriched and then converted to uranium dioxide by other service providers as part of the fuel fabrication process. The fuel is used within nuclear reactors to generate electricity.
