(USEC) has submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for alicense to construct, operate, and decommission the American Centrifuge Plant (ACP), a gas centrifugeuranium enrichment facility located on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reservation in Piketon,Ohio. The American Centrifuge Plant, if licensed, would enrich uranium for use in commercial nuclearfuel for power reactors. Feed material would be comprised of non-enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6).USEC proposes to enrich uranium up to 10 percent by weight of uranium-235. The initial licenseapplication is for a 3.5 million separative work unit1 (SWU) per year facility.
