First new Oak Ridge centrifuge completed and shipped to Ohio

Centrus completed the first new uranium-enrichment centrifuge from its restarted Oak Ridge, Tennessee, manufacturing line and began shipping it to Ohio for final assembly.

The company said completion of the first new machine came ahead of its year-end target after centrifuge manufacturing restarted in December 2025. Centrus also reported establishing a complete domestic manufacturing supply chain and ordering tens of thousands of parts from American manufacturers. The unit supports a broader expansion plan, but proposed new enrichment capacity is not expected online until 2029 and is not represented here as current capacity.
