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.

Cross sections for production of gamma rays due to neutron interactions with iron have been measured as a function of both neutron and gamma-ray energy. Two experimental configurations were used to obtain the data: a Nal-spectrometer system using the Oak Ridge Linear Accelerator as the neutron source and a Ge(Li)-spectrometer system using a pulsed Van de Graaff and the D( d, n) reaction as the neutron source. The Nal-spectrometer system, described completely in this report, was used to acquire data for 0.8 ≤ En ≤ 20 MeV and θγ = 125 deg, which were unfolded to obtain d2σ/dωdE values for gamma-ray energies between 0.7 and 10 MeV. The Ge(Li) system was used to obtain high resolution information on the production of discrete-line dσ/dω values for 4.85 ≤ En ≤ 9.0 MeV and θγ = 55, 75, and 90 deg. Our data are compared with previously reported experimental data and with the current ENDF/B evaluation. Although there is generally reasonable (20%) agreement, important differences among these data are discussed.
