America’s Uranium Enrichment Company
With a multi-billion-dollar expansion now underway, Centrus is restoring America’s ability to enrich uranium at scale – to power our economy and meet U.S. national security requirements.
By The Numbers
Centrus is strengthening U.S. energy security – deploying proven American technology, built by American workers.
Our milestones reflect decades of innovation and a continued commitment to supporting energy security. Explore the numbers driving our impact.
Reactor years of nuclear fuel supplied since 1998 – equivalent to more than 7 billion tons of coal.
A proven technology, with more than 4 million machine hours of successful operation.
The only U.S. facility licensed by the NRC to produce High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU).
A domestic manufacturing supply chain that spans 17 major suppliers in at least 13 states.
Why It Matters
Aside from Centrus, 100 percent of the world’s uranium enrichment capacity belongs to foreign, state-owned enterprises. Since the 1980s, the United States went from the world’s largest exporter of nuclear fuel to the largest importer. It’s time to reclaim American leadership and rebuild our domestic nuclear fuel supply chain.
What We Do
Advancing the future of nuclear energy through reliable fuel, American technology, precision manufacturing, and decades of industry expertise.
Nuclear fuel
Centrus has decades of experience producing and delivering nuclear fuel to U.S. and global customers.
The American Centrifuge
The only deployment-ready, U.S.-origin uranium enrichment technology capable of meeting commercial and national security needs.
Manufacturing and engineering
High-precision manufacturing for high-consequence work.
An American Supply Chain
Centrus’ centrifuge operations span two strategic U.S. locations that support the nation’s nuclear fuel supply chain.
The American Centrifuge is designed and manufactured in Tennessee, operated in Ohio, and supported by 14 American companies across at least 13 states. American technology, built by American workers.
Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Technology and Manufacturing Center
Piketon, Ohio
The American Centrifuge Plant
Built for Energy and Security
The same American-made technology can fuel commercial reactors and meet national security needs, from advanced reactor fuel to the long-term needs of the nuclear Navy and the nation’s deterrent.
Join the Team Powering America’s Nuclear Future
With sufficient support, the Piketon plant can expand with more than 10,000 additional centrifuges, enough for large-scale production of LEU for existing reactors and HALEU for advanced ones.
