On September 25, 2025, Centrus Energy Corp. announced plans to expand its uranium enrichment plant in Piketon, Ohio, contingent on federal funding decisions by the U.S. Department of Energy. The expansion could involve a multi-billion-dollar investment, creating 1,000 construction jobs and 300 new operations jobs while retaining 127 existing jobs. This initiative underscores Ohio's role in supporting national economic and security interests, with Centrus aiming to enhance domestic uranium enrichment capacity and reduce reliance on foreign entities. The project is expected to support jobs across Centrus' supply chain and contribute significantly to America's nuclear energy leadership.
