Centrus Energy Corp. is an American company specializing in the supply of nuclear fuel and related services for the nuclear power industry. Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, the company's mission is to meet the growing demand for clean, affordable, carbon-free energy while also working to restore and advance America's domestic uranium enrichment capabilities for both commercial and national security needs.

Centrus's primary offerings include Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) for existing commercial nuclear power reactors and High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU), a next-generation nuclear fuel crucial for advanced reactor designs. Beyond fuel supply, the company's Technical Solutions segment provides comprehensive engineering, design, and advanced manufacturing services to government and private sector clients, including those in the advanced nuclear, energy, aerospace, chemical, and defense sectors. They also offer decommissioning services for nuclear facilities.

Amir Vexler assumed the role of President and CEO on January 1, 2024. Centrus has recently achieved significant milestones, including the commencement of first-of-a-kind HALEU production in late 2023 at its American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, marking the first U.S.-owned and U.S.-technology enrichment plant to do so since 1954. The company is undertaking a multi-billion-dollar expansion of its uranium enrichment capacity, including a $560 million investment in its Oak Ridge, Tennessee manufacturing facility, and has partnered with Palantir to integrate AI-driven software for operational efficiencies. Centrus also launched commercial LEU enrichment activities and domestic centrifuge manufacturing in late 2025/early 2026, with new capacity expected by 2029, positioning itself as a key player in strengthening the U.S. nuclear fuel infrastructure.
