UNDER CONSTRUCTION


The following countries are known to operate enrichment facilities: Argentina, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, [[#Japan|Japan], the Netherlands, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[1] Belgium, Iran], Italy, and Spain hold an investment interest in the French Eurodif enrichment plant, with Iran's holding entitling it to 10% of the enriched uranium output. Countries that had enrichment programs in the past include Libya and South Africa, although Libya's facility was never operational.[2] Australia has developed a laser enrichment process known as SILEX, which it intends to pursue through financial investment in a U.S. commercial venture by General Electric.[3] It has also been claimed that Israel has a uranium enrichment program housed at the Negev Nuclear Research Center site near Dimona.[4]
