Ratehalli (Rare Materials Plant)

enrichment India operating

Ratehalli (Rare Materials Plant) is a enrichment facility operated by Department of Atomic Energy in India. Its capacity is not publicly disclosed.

India's centrifuge plant near Mysore, operating since about 1990 and outside safeguards. It is the enrichment source for the naval programme rather than for the power fleet, which runs largely on natural uranium in heavy water reactors and so needs no enrichment at all.
