Strengthening the United States with energy security, high quality jobs, and long-term community support
From our operating plant in southeast New Mexico to commercial nuclear power plants across the country, Urenco USA has a significant social and economic impact on the United States at a local, state, and national level, which complement Urenco’s broader effort to fuel the production of clean, reliable electricity to support economic growth and prosperity worldwide.
