A gaseous diffusion plant was built at Capenhurst, near Chester and started production in 1953 producing low enriched uranium ( LEU ).

All other reports, he said, have involved scams, some using low enriched uranium which is more readily available and unusable for nuclear bombs.

Its blend of oxides of plutonium and uranium constitutes an alternative to the low enriched uranium ( LEU ) fuel predominantly used in LWRs.

Salehi, Iran's chief IAEA delegate, said the centrifuges in question were being used only to produce low enriched uranium used as fuel for power plants.
15.
Although the DMSR can theoretically be fueled partially by thorium or plutonium, fueling solely with low enriched uranium ( LEU ) helps maximize proliferation resistance.

For low enriched uranium fuel working on a thermal neutron spectrum, the difference between the average and effective delayed neutron fractions can reach 50 pcm.

The Commerce Department released a memo Thursday that it intends to scrutinize sales of low enriched uranium from France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

In 1978, U . S . officials sought to minimize the potential proliferation threat by replacing the weapons-grade material it had been exporting with low enriched uranium.

It contained a single-loop pressurized water reactor, in a 350-ton containment vessel, using low enriched uranium ( 4 % to 7 % 235 U ) as fuel.
20.
Heavy water reactors, and some graphite moderated reactors can use unenriched uranium, but light water reactors must use low enriched uranium because of light water's neutron absorption.
