Name of the Project
Project Ike.

Location
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, US.

Project Owner/s
Orano USA.

Project Description
Project Ike relates to President "Ike" Eisenhower and his historic Atoms for Peace speech to the United Nations about using atomic energy for peaceful means and the public good.

The project involves the construction of a state-of-the-art centrifuge uranium enrichment facility.

The new facility will be a multistructure, commercial production site covering about 70 000 m2

The output of an enrichment facility is measured in kilograms of “separative work units” (SWUs) – a calculation standardising many enrichment process variables into a comparable number. This facility will be designed for yearly full production capacity of several million SWUs.

Project Ike will be designed for uranium enrichment encompassing low-enriched uranium (LEU) of up to 6% and LEU+ of up to 8%, and could be enhanced to produce high-assay, low-enriched uranium for fuelling certain advanced reactors.

Potential Job Creation
The project will lead to the creation of more than 300 jobs.

Capital Expenditure
The project will involve the investment of billions of dollars.

Planned Start/End Date
The facility could start production in the early 2030s.

Latest Developments
None stated.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
