Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Plant Cleanup Project at Portsmouth

The Department's accelerated GCEP cleanup activities (GCEP Cleanup Project) included an estimated $17 million for non-cleanup related activities that appear to be outside the scope of the agreement with USEC. Specifically, the Department plans to incur costs for actions taken to vacate GCEP facilities currently used for ongoing Departmental missions and for a change in the centrifuge machine dismantlement strategy to accommodate USEC's schedule.
