Wow, and so the dream of a fully functioning u235 centrifuge production plant lives on in Piketon, OH...  Basically dead for most of this decade at PORTS, it had lost all its funding. USEC siphoned off dollars to keep it on life support before they were pushed out of DOE work and suddenly morphed into "Centrus."  Kudos to choosing Piketon over OR and Paducah.  OR has plenty of investment and future. Paducah is on active fault line that is ripe (New Madrid) for tension release.
