USEC WORKING ON OPTIONS TO ADDRESS AMERICAN CENTRIFUGE FUNDING GAP

摘要

With a six-month Continuing Resolution threatening to leave an $80 million funding gap in a Department of Energy program supporting the American Centrifuge Plant, USEC officials said this week that there are several options available to avoid a demobilization of the project. USEC officially kicked off the research, development and deployment cost-share program with an infusion of about $88 million from DOE in June that will fund the program through November. However, last week Congressional leaders announced that they would work on a six-month CR that would run from October to March.
