"Centrus announced on 19 December that it had started manufacturing centrifuges at its centrifuge manufacturing factory in Oak Ridge..."  Why are we taking victory laps on manufacturing centrifuges?

Maybe there is more money in selling centrifuges than actual separation and selling of U235....

I usually read articles from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists with a little "side eye", not this one. It has some very good facts and little anti-nuke slant. It is a little long and tedious as is common with them.
