NEWS: Centrus just won an award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU). The award could support a potential expansion of the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio. Centrus began first-of-a-kind HALEU production in Piketon last year; it is the only U.S. enrichment facility licensed to produce HALEU. We could bring significant new capacity online within 42 months of receiving the necessary funding and continue expanding beyond that as needed. Centrus (via our subsidiary, American Centrifuge Operating, LLC) was one of four awardees today, with a minimum contract value of $2 million and a maximum value for all awardees of $2.7 billion over a ten-year period. The ultimate dollar amount associated with this award -- and the potential scale of the expansion supported -- will depend upon task orders subsequently issued to Centrus by the Department. We will manufacture the centrifuges and supporting equipment exclusively in the United States, relying upon domestic engineering and a domestic supply chain that currently spans 14 major, American-owned suppliers in 13 states and is expected to grow.  Fluor Corporation will serve as our engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the project. Other key suppliers include: Curtiss-Wright Corporation Geiger Brothers, Inc. Hexcel Corporation Kaiser Aluminum Longenecker & Associates, Inc. MKS Instruments MS Technology, Inc. Oak Ridge Tool-Engineering, Inc. Paschal Solutions, Inc. Wasson-ECE Instrumentation Inc. Weiss Technik North America Westerman, Inc. West End Electric https://lnkd.in/e2KNnKkC
