DOE awards $2.7B for HALEU and LEU enrichment
Yesterday, the Department of Energy announced that three enrichment services companies have been awarded task orders worth $900 million each. Those task orders were given to American Centrifuge Operating (a Centrus Energy subsidiary) and General Matter, both of which will develop domestic HALEU enrichment capacity, along with Orano Federal Services, which will build domestic LEU enrichment capacity.
The DOE also announced that it has awarded Global Laser Enrichment an additional $28 million to continue advancing next generation enrichment technology.

Major and minor elemental constituents in a series of chromium ore samples were determined by neutron activation analysis. The influence of the variable amount of gangue was minimized by comparing the ratios of the concentrations of the elements believed to be associated with the chromite to the observed chromium concentration. The data obtained indicate that these ratios are significantly different for each ore deposit examined to be characteristic of their geographic origin.
