Centrus Energy announced Friday two executive appointments: Dennis Scott has been appointed vice president, general counsel, chief compliance officer and corporate secretary, and Larry Cutlip has been appointed vice president of field operations, both effective May 23. The company supplies enriched uranium fuel for commercial nuclear power plants in the U.S. and internationally.
Scott, acting general counsel since last July, will now serve as Centrus’ principal legal and corporate governance officer, the company said. Since 1994 he worked for Centrus’ predecessor, the United States Enrichment Corporation, as assistant general counsel, deputy general counsel, and director of corporate compliance, it said.
Cutlip will lead Centrus operations at its Tennessee, Ohio, and Kentucky sites, and take over the duties of Steven Penrod, outgoing vice president of American Centrifuge. Cutlip most recently served as deputy director of the American Centrifuge Project, the sole domestic uranium enrichment facility featuring a 120-centrifuge demonstration cascade for nuclear power plant fuel enrichment. He will also continue as president of Centrus subsidiary American Centrifuge Manufacturing, the centrifuge technology company that supports the project, the company said.
