DOE awards $2.7B for HALEU and LEU enrichment
Yesterday, the Department of Energy announced that three enrichment services companies have been awarded task orders worth $900 million each. Those task orders were given to American Centrifuge Operating (a Centrus Energy subsidiary) and General Matter, both of which will develop domestic HALEU enrichment capacity, along with Orano Federal Services, which will build domestic LEU enrichment capacity.
The DOE also announced that it has awarded Global Laser Enrichment an additional $28 million to continue advancing next generation enrichment technology.

This paper reports the preliminary results of studies of the kinetics of the reactions of T2 with H2, D2, and CH4. The gas phase reactions were studied using laser Raman spectroscopy for the real-time analysis of species concentration. A novel flow cell which has low volume (ca. 4 cm3) and minimizes dead volumes is described. First order rate constants are in the range 1.4 – 2.7 days for reaction with H2 and D2 , and 5 days for the reaction with CH4.
