DOE, USEC AGREE ON ‘NO COST EXTENSION’ FOR RD&D PROGRAM

By ExchangeMonitor

The Department of Energy and USEC have agreed to an extension until the end of the month for a research, development and deployment program supporting the American Centrifuge Project. The program had been set to end today and no extension was anticipated, as the Department reached its orignally set limit for funding the cost-share effort. "The Department and USEC have established a no-cost extension to the RD&D cooperative agreement through the end of April," a DOE spokesperson said. "At the same time, the Department continues to explore options for the best way to meet U.S. national security needs after the cooperative agreement ends. The Department currently plans to task the Oak Ridge Office and the Oak Ridge National Lab with taking actions needed to maintain the centrifuges and enrichment capability as the Department explores these options."
