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 $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $6.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, and was mostly paid as of June 30, 2012. Actions taken to-date related to USEC's organizational structure resulted in workforce reductions at the American Centrifuge design and engineering operations in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, at the headquarters operations located in Bethesda, Maryland and at the central services operations located in Piketon, Ohio. The reductions to-date involved 45 employees including two senior corporate officers. A charge of $1.9 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2012 and $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 for one-time termination benefits consisting of severance payments, short-term health care coverage and immediate vesting of restricted stock for certain employees. Related cash expenditures of $0.7 million were incurred in the first quarter of 2012 and $2.2 million were incurred in the second quarter of 2012. The remaining cash expenditures are expected primarily in the latter half of 2012. Additional actions affecting employees to align the organization with our evolving business environment are expected.
