Centrus Energy Corp

Centrus Energy Corp is a USA company active in the nuclear fuel chain as enricher, haleu.

Successor to the United States Enrichment Corporation, itself the privatised enrichment arm of the Atomic Energy Commission. Its American Centrifuge Plant at Piketon, Ohio is the first US-owned, US-technology enrichment plant to produce in seventy years, and the only Western facility licensed to enrich to HALEU levels. Its output is measured in kilograms per year, not tonnes — the scale of the Western HALEU problem in one number.
