Item 8.01 Other Events

On June 12, 2023, following the completion of its operational readiness reviews, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a letter authorizing the American Centrifuge Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("ACO") and wholly-owned subsidiary of Centrus Energy Corp. ("Centrus"), to introduce uranium hexafluoride into the High-Assay Low Enriched Uranium ("HALEU") cascade of centrifuges at its facility in Piketon, Ohio. This is a critical milestone in advancing toward first-of-a-kind production of HALEU. Centrus began construction of the cascade of centrifuges in 2019. The operational readiness reviews were required under Centrus' NRC license, which were successfully amended in 2021 to make the Piketon site the only NRC-licensed HALEU production facility. The next steps are for Centrus to complete construction of the on-site HALEU storage area and conduct final testing activities prior to operation, with initial HALEU production set to begin by the end of the year.
