Lanzhou's enrichment uranium support,
where enriched nuclear fuel is extracted and reprocessed to be elated to
China's nuclear power stations, has been opened to the media for the first
time. The statement was made by the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC)
following the victorious industrial use of the domestic uranium enhancement
centrifuge, which produces the fuel required by nuclear power stations.
Employees at the Lanzhou uranium
enrichment base established that all devices at the facility, including the
centrifuge, are made in China. The ability to make enriched uranium is one of
the criteria used to judge whether or not a country is competent of carrying
out nuclear tests. The centrifuge method is central to the process of uranium fortification. China's uranium enhancement process had formerly relied on the outdated dispersal
separation technique, due to the difficulty of the centrifuge technique,
according to a CNNC official.
