What's the enrichment landscape looking like now?
5:56
Well, y- you're right.
5:57
I mean, things have changed, uh, since the 2020s quite dramatically.
6:01
For example, us at Urenco, we were planning to be a smaller company in 2030 than we were in 2020, for the reason that- There was ample overcapacity in an, in the enrichment market.
6:11
Prices were depressed, and therefore we were just planning for as soft a landing as we could in terms of capacity.
6:19
Now, there are several factors that came into play and that have changed completely the landscape for nuclear and therefore for enrichment.
6:26
The first one was decarbonization, so there was a clear drive to decarbonize, and the pledges signed at COP28 and others clearly showed political willingness to enter into nuclear again.
