| Springfield Fuels Ltd (Westinghouse) |
Processing several thousand tonnes of uranium a year, UK Fuel Business, based at Springfields has the experience and technology to manufacture fuel for all major designs of nuclear reactor across the globe.
UK Fuel Business has produced fuel for all of Britain's nuclear power stations as well as fuel and intermediate uranium products for overseas customers.
Springfields near Preston was the first plant in the world to make nuclear fuel and to date has produced several million fuel elements and provided products and services for over 140 reactors in more than 12 countries.
