China's largest natural uranium project produces first barrel

BEIJING, (Xinhua) -- China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) announced Saturday that the country's largest natural uranium project has produced its first barrel of uranium, marking a new phase of sustainable and smart uranium mining in China.
Located in Ordos in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the "National No.1 Uranium" demonstration project, the country's largest natural uranium production base by capacity and built to the highest standards, has also set a new record for construction speed, having been completed just one year after breaking ground.
"This demonstration project is a major achievement in China's third-generation uranium mining and processing technology," said Yuan Xu, chairman of China National Uranium Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of CNNC.
