The Capenhurst nuclear site is a uranium enrichment facility located in Cheshire, England. The main activities at the site are enrichment of natural uranium for civil use, management and storage of depleted uranium tails, and decommissioning of legacy facilities. Historically, the site has been used for both military and civil purposes, however military use of the site ceased in 1993, and since then it has only produced low enriched uranium for civil use under IAEA safeguards. The site is owned by Urenco UK, a subsidiary of the Urenco Group, and operated by various Urenco subsidiaries.
