American Centrifuge Plant, Piketon
Capacity
900kg HALEU/yr
American Centrifuge Plant, Piketon is a haleu facility operated by Centrus Energy Corp in United States. It has a capacity of 900 kg HALEU/yr as of 2025.
The first US-owned, US-technology enrichment plant to produce in seventy years, and the only Western facility currently enriching to HALEU. Its entire annual output would fuel roughly one small reactor's first core. In 2026 Centrus received a $900 million DOE task order to expand Piketon to commercial-scale HALEU production.
