Centrus Energy subsidiary American Centrifuge Operating has produced and delivered 900 kg of high-assay, low-enriched uranium (Haleu) to the US Department of Energy, reaching a critical milestone as the company pioneers first-of-a-kind production of the fuel that will be needed for many next-generation nuclear power plants.
Bethesda, Maryland-based Centrus said that with the production and delivery of the 900 kg, it has achieved the production target for Phase II of its contract with the DOE and to date has produced and delivered over 920 kg of Haleu to the DOE.
“Achievement of this milestone further demonstrates the ability of our technology to deliver results for our customers and for the nation,” said Centrus Energy president and chief executive officer Amir Vexler.
