American Centrifuge Manufacturers

Rebuilding the U.S. Nuclear Industrial Base

Rebuilding America’s nuclear industrial manufacturing base is a key component of USEC’s American Centrifuge project. At sites across the United States, our manufacturers are hiring new employees and/or building or expanding their facilities to support the fabrication of centrifuge machines and support systems.

The low enriched uranium produced by American Centrifuge Plant will fuel the clean, reliable operations of new and existing nuclear power plants for decades to come. USEC’s manufacturing contracts for the fabrication of centrifuge machines and plant components will create a significant number of new, high-paying jobs in the United States.

The American Centrifuge Plant will be the first new commercial nuclear build by a U.S. company in more than three decades. As the only U.S.-owned and U.S.-operated gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facility, the American Centrifuge Plant will play a major role in supporting America’s energy security and national security. The increased use of nuclear power would provide an effective means for America to reduce its dependence on foreign energy sources and on energy sources that emit harmful greenhouse gases.

America stands to gain significant economic benefits by investing in a reinvigorated nuclear industrial manufacturing base. More than one million jobs could be created in the United States if American companies capture a significant share of the growing global nuclear energy market, according to the American Council on Global Nuclear Competitiveness. USEC and its American Centrifuge manufacturers have taken the first step in this national nuclear industrial resurgence.
