[NYSE: LEU]\n(\"Centrus\"), a trusted supplier of nuclear fuel and services, and Radiant, a\nleading developer of transportable plug-in ready nuclear microreactors, today\nannounced a definitive multi-year contract to supply high-assay, low-enriched\nuranium (HALEU) fuel needed to deploy multiple Kaleidos microreactors. Under\nthe agreement, Centrus will begin delivering HALEU before the end of the\ndecade, adding another domestic source of fuel to support commercial scale-up\nof Radiant's Kaleidos fleet.\n\nThe contract further strengthens Centrus' position as a leading fuel supplier\nfor next generation nuclear technologies while expanding its role in the\nemerging microreactor market. The agreement includes Radiant prepayments to\nCentrus to support its domestic commercial enrichment capacity program. For\nRadiant, the contract adds another domestic source of HALEU as the company\nmoves from its first Kaleidos test toward commercial and national security\ndeployments, reinforcing the fuel supply it continues to build in parallel\nwith the reactor itself.\n\n\"The contract with Radiant marks another important step in building the\ndomestic fuel supply chain needed to support the next generation of nuclear\nenergy,\" said Amir Vexler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Centrus.\n\"By expanding our work to include innovative microreactor developers like\nRadiant, we are strengthening the U.S.-based fuel supply network. This will\nhelp ensure that emerging nuclear technologies have access to the reliable\nfuel they need to reach commercialization and meet growing demand for clean,\nsecure, and dependable energy.\"\n\n\"You can't deploy nuclear reactors without fuel, so we have approached our\nfuel supply the same way we have approached the reactor: build it in parallel,\nand don't depend on any single path,\" said Dr. Rita Baranwal, Chief Nuclear\nOfficer of Radiant. \"This agreement gives Kaleidos a continued source of HALEU\nfor commercial and national security applications and removes one of the\nbiggest constraints facing advanced nuclear deployment. We're securing the\nfuel supply chain alongside the reactor so that when Kaleidos is ready to\ndeploy at scale, the infrastructure behind it is ready too.\"\n\nBecause Centrus' technology is U.S.-origin and relies upon a U.S.\nmanufacturing supply chain, the enrichment that Centrus provides to Radiant\nwill be \"unobligated\" – meaning that it can be used for national security\napplications. Centrus' AC100 centrifuge design is the only deployment-ready\nU.S.-origin technology available for unobligated enrichment today. Radiant is\ndeveloping transportable microreactors designed to provide reliable power for\nremote locations, data centers, defense applications, and/or other commercial\nand industrial uses, representing a broad potential market for Centrus'\ndomestic HALEU supply.\n\nAbout Centrus\n\nCentrus Energy is a trusted American supplier of nuclear fuel and services for\nthe nuclear power industry, helping meet the growing need for clean,\naffordable, carbon-free energy. Since 1998, the Company has provided its\nutility customers with more than 1,850 reactor years of fuel, which is\nequivalent to more than 7 billion tons of coal. With world-class technical and\nengineering capabilities, Centrus is pioneering production of High-Assay,\nLow-Enriched Uranium and is leading the effort to restore America's uranium\nenrichment capabilities at scale so that we can meet our clean energy, energy\nsecurity, and national security needs.
