text: Nevertheless, countries such as France, with large, old, nuclear infrastructure use gas diffusion for legacy reasons, and, in the case of France, with a large excess of nuclear electricity, the energy efficiency isn't really a problem (the enrichment plant is so power hungry that it has it's own nuke plant to provide energy).However, given that centrifuges are at least 50x as efficient as gas diffusion (probably more for the latest designs), and the energy costs of gas diffusion are so high, and modern precision engineering technology has brought the costs of centrifuges down - the decision to go for centrifuges over gas diffusion
