Centrus And US DOE Sign Contract To Demonstrate Haleu Fuel :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Centrus And US DOE Sign Contract To Demonstrate Haleu Fuel :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Centrus Energy has signed a three-year contract with the US Department of Energy to deploy a cascade of centrifuges to demonstrate production of high-assay, low-enriched uranium (Haleu) fuel for advanced reactors.



The programme has been under way since Centrus, based in the US state of Maryland, and the DOE signed a preliminary agreement on 31 May 2019, which allowed work to begin while the full contract was still being finalised. “Our partnership with the U.S. DOE… will help America lead the transition to the next generation of advanced reactors,” said Daniel Poneman, president and chief executive officer of Centrus.
