Centrus ships first centrifuge for Piketon enrichment expansion

Leading the enrichment expansion

Centrus shipped its first new centrifuge from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to Piketon, Ohio, on Thursday, October 29. It is the first new machine from the Oak Ridge plant since production restarted in December 2025, and the company beat its own year-end target. The machines will be grouped into cascades, which are linked sets of centrifuges that enrich uranium.
