> The company is on track to produce 20 kilograms of HALEU by the end of the year, and then expects to produce 900 kg in 2024
> Centrus and the Russian state-owned company Tenex, which are the only two outfits that can produce HALEU in the world
> For now, the DOE intends to purchase about 25 tonnes of HALEU per year to kick-start the industry and give HALEU producers secure contracts from which they can expand production
So in 2024 the DoE will buy 0.9T from the only American producer, and the remaining 24.1T from Russia?
