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.

In the design of power reactors containing lattices of fuel rods in liquid coolant, it would be useful to employ cell-averaged transport parameters reflecting anisotropic neutron migration when this is significant. Measurements and Monte Carlo calculations of anisotropic neutron migration are described for rod lattices. The well-known flux peaking near thin sources is found to be accompanied by thin source effects on migration areas. Situations of substantial migration anisotropy and thin source effects are delimited.
