"The IRA "represents a strong initial down payment, but there is broad agreement in the industry that additional funding will be required to establish the domestic HALEU supply chain necessary to commercialize the next generation of advanced reactors," uranium company Centrus Energy Corp. spokesperson Dan Leistikow said June 9. Centrus said in May it is considering producing low-enriched uranium at its Ohio facility after finishing construction and initial testing of a DOE-funded demonstration centrifuge plant for HALEU. In the DOE demonstration, Centrus will produce up to 20 kgU of HALEU by the end of 2023."
Maybe the problem is Centrus can demand whatever fee they want. Hasn't stopped them from operating piece-meal for the past 2 decades and have nothing to show for it.
