Centrus Energy (NYSE:LEU) announced today that its subsidiary, American Centrifuge Operating, LLC ("ACO"), has won an award from the U.S. Department of Energy aimed at expanding domestic commercial production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU), which is needed to fuel many next-generation nuclear reactor designs currently under development.
centrus energy（纽交所股票代码:LEU）今天宣布，其子公司美国离心机操作有限责任公司（"ACO"）已获得美国能源部颁发的奖项，旨在扩大国内商业上的高浓缩、低浓缩铀（HALEU）生产，这种铀用于许多目前正在开发中的下一代核反应堆设计的燃料。
"This award could facilitate the potential expansion of Centrus' first-of-a-kind HALEU production capacity to help meet the needs of the advanced nuclear industry and the nation," said Centrus President and CEO Amir Vexler. "It represents a critical piece of the public-private partnership we are working to build so that we can restore a robust, American-owned uranium enrichment capability to power the future of nuclear energy."
"这一奖项有助于潜在扩大centrus第一种HALEU生产能力以满足先进核能行业和国家的需求，" centrus总裁兼首席执行官Amir Vexler表示。"它代表我们正在努力建立的公私合作伙伴关系的关键组成部分，以便我们可以恢复强大的、美国拥有的铀浓缩能力，为核能的未来提供动力。"
ACO is one of four awardees being announced today for HALEU production, with a minimum contract value of $2 million and a maximum value for all awardees of $2.7 billion over a ten-year period. The ultimate dollar amount associated with this award – and the potential scale of the expansion supported -- will depend upon task orders subsequently issued by the U.S. Department of Energy to Centrus.
ACO是今天宣布的四个HALEU生产奖项中的一个，最低合同价值为200万美元，所有获奖者的最大价值为27亿美元，在为期十年的期间内。这一奖项所涉及的最终金额以及支持扩大规模的潜力，将取决于美国能源部后续发给centrus的任务订单。
