Workforce Reduction and Advisory Costs
Workforce Reductions and Advisory Costs	11. WORKFORCE REDUCTIONS AND ADVISORY COSTS USEC's business is in a state of significant transition. In early 2012, USEC initiated an internal review of its organizational structure and engaged a management consulting firm to support this review. Costs for the management consulting firm and other advisors totaled $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Initial actions taken related to USEC's organizational structure resulted in workforce reductions at the American Centrifuge design and engineering operations in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and at the headquarters operations located in Bethesda, Maryland. The reductions involved 25 employees including two senior corporate officers. A charge of $1.9 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2012 for one-time termination benefits consisting of severance payments and short-term health care coverage. Related cash expenditures of $0.7 million were incurred in the first quarter of 2012 and most of the remainder is expected to be incurred in the second quarter of 2012. In April 2012, 21 positions were eliminated at headquarters in Bethesda and the central services operations located in Piketon, Ohio. A charge of $1.1 million for one-time termination benefits and the related cash expenditures are expected in the second quarter of 2012. Additional actions affecting employees to align the organization with our evolving business environment are expected.
