Fábrica de uranio de Andújar, Nuclear processing facility in Andújar, Spain
The uranium processing facility contained industrial equipment designed to transform raw uranium ore into concentrated uranium oxide with 75% purity levels.
The factory operated from 1959 to 1981, producing uranium concentrates for nuclear power plants across Spain until its decommissioning began in 1991.
The facility represents a chapter in Spanish industrial development, marked by the experiences of 126 workers who processed uranium without proper safety measures.
The site remains fenced and monitored by ENRESA, with annual inspections conducted to measure groundwater contamination levels in the surrounding area.
The facility processed uranium from nearby mines, including El Cano in Cardeña and another located on the slopes of the Santamaría de la Cabeza Sanctuary.
