The $900M DOE contract validates Centrus as the sole domestic HALEU producer and provides a clear path to commercial-scale enrichment. Monitor for lease extension agreements with DOE and progress on the $2.4B LEU backlog conversion. The cross-filing executive departure 14 days prior suggests management transition risk — watch for further C-suite changes that could delay the 2029 capacity timeline.
