Docket No. 70-7003
American Centrifuge Operating, LLC; Lead Cascade Facility; Termination of License; Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact
Summary
By letter dated November 2, 2023, American Centrifuge Operating, LLC (ACO), a subsidiary of Centrus Energy Corp. (Centrus), requested the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) terminate its Special Nuclear Material (SNM) License No. SNM-7003 for the American Centrifuge Lead Cascade Facility (LCF), located on a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reservation in Piketon, Ohio. ACO no longer needs to maintain its license SNM-7003. On January 5, 2024, the NRC accepted the license termination application for detailed technical review. The license termination would not change ACO's license SNM-2011 for the American Centrifuge Plant under which ACO is conducting the high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) program at the Piketon facility.
