【英国《核能》1989年2月第8页报道】加拿大是世界上最大的铀生产国和铀出口国,但不搞铀浓缩。其原因是它自己的坎杜堆不需要浓缩铀,和所需的投资很大。目前由于有下列因素而给加拿大提供一个进入铀浓缩市场的机会:——世界上浓缩需求在增加。——各扩散厂大多未以全功率运行。——英国、荷兰和西德联合铀浓缩公司(URENCO)正在设法同其它公司一道,为在美国建造一座1000吨的浓缩厂而进行组织工作。
[United Kingdom “Nuclear Energy” February 8, 1989, page 8] Canada is the world’s largest uranium producer and uranium exporter, but does not engage in uranium enrichment. The reason for this is that its own Candu reactor does not require uranium enrichment and the investment required is large. There is currently an opportunity for Canada to enter the uranium enrichment market because of the following factors: - The world’s demand for enrichment is increasing. - Most diffusion plants are not operating at full power. -- Urenco, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and West Germany are trying to work together with other companies to organize the construction of a 1,000-ton enrichment plant in the United States.
