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.

Monte Carlo methods have been utilized to determine the neutron and alpha-particle spectra in a deuterium-tritium plasma at temperatures of 10, 20, and 30 keV. Results show that the deuteron and triton energy spectra, their variable angles of interaction, and the variable angle of particle emission broaden the energy of the nominal 14.1-MeV neutron and of the nominal 3.5-MeV associated alpha particle by ±1 MeV at a plasma temperature of 30 keV.
