Former Boeing plant bought USEC Inc. plans to continue centrifuge production at site By Michael Silence (Contact) Tuesday, April 1, 2008

USEC has hired Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group Inc. to take over centrifuge machine manufacturing.
The company purchased the site for $5 million and will be making more than $50 million in improvements. The purchase closed Friday, USEC spokeswoman Elizabeth Stuckle said.
Oak Ridge Mayor Tom Beehan said USEC is a "great business" and that the city is fortunate to have the company and the approximately 300 people working at the site.
He said the fact that the company purchased the property is a strong signal of long-term commitment.
According to a press release from USEC, the 74-acre site has 440,000 square feet of buildings and it will be known as the American Centrifuge Technology and Manufacturing Center.
The property includes a 200,000-square-foot building with a "high bay structure" that was specifically built for the manufacturing and testing of centrifuge machines, according to USEC.
Stuckle said Monday it is anticipated that the complex will employ more than 400 people.
Boeing Inc. last summer announced it was ending more than 25 years in Oak Ridge and laid off more than 260 employees after deciding to move airplane parts production to its Utah plant.
Boeing's announcement was made after it was disclosed that the aviation giant would no longer be handling centrifuge production for Maryland-based USEC Inc., which supplies fuel for commercial nuclear power plants.
Boeing opened its Oak Ridge plant in 1981 to support manufacturing of centrifuges. The plant also has made parts for commercial airliners, including flight deck consoles, forward instrument panels and aisle stands, for Boeing 737s, 747s, 767s, 777s and 787s, as well as defense products.
Oak Ridge City Council member Ellen Smith said the purchase is good news but is not a surprise.
"There seems to be a lot of optimism" surrounding the manufacturing project and its future, she said.
Beehan said it was a testament to USEC and Babcock & Wilcox that they could "crank up a start up" in such a short time frame.
"They are a great business. The building and location were certainly at risk when we lost Boeing," Beehan said.
In the press release, Philip G. Sewell, USEC vice president, said the unique centrifuge building was a key asset in the purchase.
"Using this facility saves USEC valuable time and money compared to building a new one," Sewell said.
Last year, USEC received a package of incentives to keep the centrifuge machine manufacturing in Oak Ridge from the state of Tennessee, TVA, the city of Oak Ridge and Anderson County.
USEC's American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, will use Department of Energy gas centrifuge technology with improvements in design and material manufacturing.
USEC has been in Oak Ridge since 2001 and has been testing and manufacturing individual machine components since 2005.
The company said it plans to start commercial plant operations at the Ohio plant in late 2009, with a production goal of 11,500 machines by 2012.
