Congratulations Centrus!Centrus will Haleu production in October. I think this is an effort that started in earnest in 2019? Not fast in the normal manufacturing world but lightning speed in US nuclear terms. https://www.centrusenergy.com/news/centrus-to-begin-haleu-production-in-october/ "“This will be the first new U.S.-owned uranium enrichment plant to begin production since 1954,” said Centrus President and CEO Daniel B. Poneman." . . . "The capacity of the 16-centrifuge cascade that is expected to begin enrichment operations in October will be modest – about 900 kilograms of HALEU per year – but with sufficient funding and offtake commitments, Centrus could significantly expand production. A full-scale HALEU cascade, consisting of 120 centrifuge machines, with a combined capacity to produce approximately 6,000 kilograms of HALEU per year (6 MTU/year), could be brought online within about 42 months of securing the necessary funding." I think we're looking at ~20kg produced this year. So, humble beginnings but let's hope they ramp quickly and without issue. |
