Centrus Energy has signed a $900 million contract with the Department of Energy to transition its Piketon, Ohio, facility from a technology demonstration to commercial-scale production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium. The agreement includes options that could bring the total contract value to $1.07 billion, with initial capacity expected by 2029.

This transition marks a shift toward domestic fuel production for advanced reactors, reducing reliance on foreign supply chains.
