Disposition of DOE Excess Depleted Uranium, Natural Uranium, and Low-Enriched Uranium

The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to disposition part of its excess uranium inventory using one or a combination of two methods: (1) enrichment to either natural uranium (NU) or low-enriched uranium (LEU) product, and subsequent storage or sale of the resultant NU or LEU product (the Enrichment Alternative), and (2) direct sale2 to appropriately licensed entities (the Direct Sale Alternative).
