Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product "uranium enriched 4.0% per separative work unit" represents a fuel. Uranium enrichment can be obtained through the centrifuge or diffusion process. The factor for the infrastructure requirement is calculated with annual throughput of 1500 t SWU for 30 years operation. The reference product is per separative work unit (SWU). There exist datasets for five different enrichment grades: 3.0% 3.8% 3.9% 4.2% and 4.0%. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
