Centrus Energy Corp. has announced a major expansion of its Oak Ridge centrifuge manufacturing plant in Tennessee, investing more than $560 million and creating nearly 430 new jobs in Anderson County over the next several years. The project will support the large-scale deployment of advanced uranium enrichment technology, aiding the restoration of domestic enrichment capabilities. Centrus’ Oak Ridge facility, the only uranium enrichment centrifuge manufacturing center in the U.S., will produce centrifuges for the company’s expanding operations, including its Ohio enrichment plant, with the first new centrifuges expected to come online in Ohio in 2029. The expansion is supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and Tennessee's Nuclear Energy Fund.
