Centrus Energy is a trusted American supplier of nuclear fuel and services for the nuclear power industry, helping meet the growing need for clean, affordable, carbon-free energy. Since 1998, the Company has provided its utility customers with more than 1,850 reactor years of fuel, which is equivalent to more than 7 billion tons of coal.
Centrus has designed, manufactured, and successfully operated the world’s most advanced gas centrifuge enrichment technology, the American Centrifuge, which has undergone rigorous testing by the Department of Energy and is available for national security deployment as well as commercial nuclear fuel production. With world-class technical and engineering capabilities, Centrus is pioneering production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium and is leading the effort to restore America’s uranium enrichment capabilities at scale so that we can meet our clean energy, energy security, and national security needs.
Centrus has designed, manufactured, and successfully operated the world’s most advanced gas centrifuge enrichment technology, the American Centrifuge, which has undergone rigorous testing by the Department of Energy and is available for national security deployment. Restoring America’s capability to enrich uranium with a domestic technology is critical to meeting long-term national security requirements, such as supplying fuel for the U.S. Navy and providing a source of tritium — which is necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the nuclear deterrent. U.S. treaty obligations and longstanding nonproliferation policies prohibit the use of foreign uranium or foreign technology for these purposes.
Based on our experience developing and building the world’s most advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges, Centrus now offers its unique technical capabilities and engineering expertise to a wide range of customers outside of the traditional nuclear fuel business, including turnkey engineering, design, and advanced manufacturing solutions for advanced reactor developers and others in the energy, aerospace, chemical, and defense sectors. At our 440,000 square foot, state-of-the-art Technology & Manufacturing Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, our team of scientists and engineers transform innovative ideas into proven designs and high-quality products and components.
With deep technical expertise and capabilities, a billion-dollar order book, and long-term supply agreements through 2030, the company is well-positioned to support our customers and the growth of the nuclear industry.
