The contract services segment includes nuclear energy services and technologies provided by NAC International Inc. as well as work performed for DOE and DOE contractors at the Portsmouth site and the Paducah GDP.  Gross profit is USEC's measure for segment reporting. Intersegment sales were less than $0.1 million in each period presented below and have been eliminated in consolidation.
