Production of uranium hexafluoride provides widest possible markets and value for Australia's exportable uranium. Australia's uranium resources are capable of supporting a 5000 tonne uranium per annum refinery in SA capable of competing with overseas plants. It could be established and operating within 3 years of approval.

      Notes: Amdel project: 1/1/154. Report no. 01002. Includes progress reports from August and June 1974 (fiche 1-3, p: 3-16, 40-151).  Includes reports on:  -  Establishment of a uranium processing plant, South Australia.   -  Uranium enrichment. Interim environmental AMDEL report 20/1/1977. Includes the impacts of the physical presence of a uranium enrichment plant in SA, of the solid, liquid and gaseous wastes, and of the employees, on existing uses of land and water, and on terrestrial and aquatic ecology. Facilities would comprise a uranium hexafluoride plant, a gas centrifuge enrichment plant and a centrifuge rotor fabrication plant.  - Lake Phillipson coal. A preliminary review. Proven reserves of up to 2000 million tonnes. Coal has 25% better quality compared with Leigh Creek but high production costs. An investment of $750 million is likely for assured supply of 1500 x 106 KWh p.a. at Spencer Gulf site for uranium enrichment plant. Further study recommended.
