Fábrica de uranio de Andújar, Nuclear processing facility in Andújar, Spain
The Andújar uranium factory was an industrial processing facility that transformed raw uranium ore into concentrated oxide products. It housed specialized equipment designed for the chemical conversion and purification of uranium materials for nuclear power generation.
The factory began uranium processing in 1959 and operated as a production center for over 2 decades. Operations ceased in 1981, with decommissioning efforts starting in 1991.
The facility was a major employer in the region for decades, shaping the economic life of the surrounding area. It stands today as a symbol of Andalusia's industrial past and Spain's energy development.
The site is fenced and monitored by ENRESA, with regular inspections performed. Access is restricted, but the surrounding area can be explored on foot to understand the region's industrial heritage.
The facility processed uranium from nearby mines, including El Cano in Cardeña and deposits on the slopes of the Santa María de la Cabeza Sanctuary. This local source of raw materials made it a key production site in Andalusia's uranium-rich region.
