DOE extends Centrus’s HALEU production contract by one year
Centrus Energy has announced that it has secured a contract extension from the Department of Energy to continue—for one year—its ongoing high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) production at the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, at an annual rate of 900 kilograms of HALEU UF6. According to Centrus, the extension is valued at about $110 million through June 30, 2026.

We report here some results of our study of neutron wave propagation in heavy water using the scattering kernel proposed by Bansal et al. Calculations have been made both by including and by neglecting the contribution of molecular modes. We find better agreement with the experimental results of Perez et al. when contribution of molecular modes is included in the scattering kernel. This study also reveals the importance of including the chemical binding effects in the scattering kernel.
