DOE extends Centrus’s HALEU production contract by one year
Centrus Energy 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. That's the same amount of HALEU—900 kg—that the company today announced it has delivered to the DOE, completing Phase II of its contract. According to Centrus, the contract extension, which allows the company to begin Phase III, is valued at about $110 million through June 30, 2026.

Neutron capture by stable palladium isotopes has been measured by time-of-flight techniques at the Oak Ridge Linear Electron Accelerator up to the inelastic 2+ level thresholds for the even isotopes (except 102Pd) and up to 750 keV for the important fission product 105Pd. Resonance parameters were extracted from resolved peaks up to a few keV. Average cross sections for the pure isotopes were derived by linear combinations of the yields from partially enriched samples. Strength functions were fitted to these data in the energy range from 2.6 to 112 keV.
