Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 7, 2024, Centrus Energy Corp. (the “Company”) filed a second waiver application pursuant to the Prohibiting Russian Imports Act (the “Act”) with respect to the importation of low enriched uranium (“LEU”) from Russia for processing and reexport to our foreign customers. On October 31, 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (the “DOE”) issued its determination waiving the prohibition of the importation of such material to our foreign customers scheduled in 2025.
As previously disclosed, on July 18, 2024, the DOE issued its determination regarding our first waiver request under the Act. The first waiver authorized the importation of Russian LEU committed for delivery to our U.S. customers in years 2024 and 2025. For the Russian LEU committed for delivery to our customers in 2026 and 2027, the DOE deferred its decision to an unspecified date closer in time to the deliveries.
The Company plans to file one or more waiver requests for importation of LEU from Russia in 2026 and 2027 to meet the expected requirements of the U.S. nuclear industry. It is uncertain whether the DOE will grant a waiver for the material committed to customers for delivery in 2026 and 2027 under its first waiver application. It is also uncertain whether any further waivers will be granted to the Company and, if granted, whether any waiver would be granted in a timely manner or will be sufficient in scope to support the Company’s intended operations.
