John Dorrian will retire from Centrus Energy Corp., Bethesda, Md., on Dec. 31, after 27 years with the company, most recently as controller and chief accounting officer, the uranium fuel broker and enrichment technology developer announced in a recent regulatory filing.
“It is anticipated that Mr. Dorrian will continue to provide transition services to the Company on a part-time basis in early 2022,” Centrus wrote in Tuesday’s 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Centrus, the former U.S. Enrichment Corp., is in the middle of a high-assay, low-enriched uranium technology demonstration for the Department of Energy that could give the company a long-term boost as the provider of the first all-domestic enrichment technology since the Paducah enrichment plant shut down in 2013, just prior to the U.S. Enrichment Corp. bankruptcy reorganization into Centrus.
The technology demonstration, and the company’s bedrock uranium brokerage business, has drawn occasional ire from Congress this year and in years past, mostly from states that host foreign-owned enrichment facilities or natural uranium mines.
