Manufacturing, Engineering & Innovation
Your Trusted Partner from Concept to Production
From concept to production, Centrus Technical Solutions helps our customers reduce the time, cost, and risk of developing and manufacturing complex engineered products.
Proven Track Record
Over the past 15 years, we have designed, built, tested, operated, and validated the world’s most advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges to meet both commercial and U.S. national security requirements. These machines operate at extreme conditions, requiring the tightest tolerances and utilizing a variety of complex materials and innovative manufacturing techniques. We can put these world-class engineering and precision manufacturing capabilities to work on behalf of customers in the energy, defense, aerospace, and chemical industries.
Centrus also has decades of experience in the production and management of uranium-based nuclear fuels at various assay levels and in various forms. Our expertise includes uranium chemistry, nuclear facility licensing, criticality analysis, and alternative uranium fuel cycles.
Product Development, Design & Advanced Manufacturing
At our 440,000 square foot, state-of-the-art Technology & Manufacturing Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, our team of scientists and engineers transform innovative ideas into proven designs and high-quality products and components. We can produce complex components, large or small, whether you need one piece or thousands.
From design and engineering to precision manufacturing, Centrus Technical Solutions is your trusted, full-service partner.
