WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today selected 6 companies from which it can sign contracts to procure low enriched uranium (LEU) in order to incentivize the build-out of new uranium production capacity in the United States.
Today’s announcement reinforces the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to ensuring consumers across the country have access to affordable, reliable electricity and good-paying clean energy jobs, while building resilient supply chains free from Russian influence.
“These contracts generated from this action will help spur the safe and responsible build-out of uranium enrichment capacity in the United States,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy Dr. Michael Goff. “We must increase our capacity to produce enriched uranium domestically to support the energy security and resilience of the Nation.”
DOE selected these 6 companies that will be able to compete for future work to supply LEU, fostering strong commercial sector investment:
- American Centrifuge Operating, LLC
- General Matter, Inc.
- Global Laser Enrichment, LLC
- Louisiana Energy Services, LLC
- Laser Isotope Separation Technologies, Inc.
- Orano Federal Services, LLC
