Nuclear fuel cycle

The nuclear fuel cycle from mining, enrichment, to reprocessing and nuclear waste.

This Factfile summarises the main aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle: the mining of uranium, its processing to make it suitable for use in nuclear reactors to produce electricity, the reprocessing of spent fuel to produce new fuel and the treatment of wastes.
