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.

A generalization of the classical quasi-static method is described. “Amplitude” and “shape” functions are treated on the same footing by applying an iterative Newton method to the integral form of the multigroup diffusion equations. Provision is made for one amplitude function per neutron group. It is shown, further, how this model encompasses Ott and Meneley's improved quasi-static algorithm.
