Centrus will transition the existing cascade at their Ohio plant from a government-supply production line to commercial operations.
The centrifuges in the current cascade can produce about 900 kg of high-assay low enriched uranium (HALEU) per year. The company has produced about 1,900 kg for the DOE since initial production began in 2023.
The transition to full scale commercial operations has been d...
