Research and Development [Abstract] |
Advanced Technology Costs and Other Income | ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY COSTS AND OTHER INCOME From June 2012 through April 2014, the Company performed work under the June 2012 cooperative agreement with DOE (the “Cooperative Agreement”) for the American Centrifuge technology with cost-share funding from DOE. The Cooperative Agreement provided for 80% DOE and 20% Company cost sharing for work performed up to a total government cost share of $280 million. The Cooperative Agreement expired in accordance with its terms on April 30, 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, advanced technology costs included costs for work performed under the Cooperative Agreement and DOE’s cost share was recognized as other income. On May 1, 2014, the Company signed an agreement for continued research, development and demonstration of the American Centrifuge technology in furtherance of DOE’s national security objectives (the “American Centrifuge Technology Demonstration and Operations Agreement”, or “ACTDO Agreement”) with UT-Battelle, LLC (“UT-Battelle”), the management and operating contractor for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”). The scope of the overall work under the ACTDO Agreement is reduced from the scope of work that was being conducted by the Company under the Cooperative Agreement. Revenue and cost of sales for work that Centrus performs under the fixed-price ACTDO Agreement as a subcontractor to UT-Battelle are reported in the contract services segment. American Centrifuge costs incurred by the Company that are outside of the ACTDO Agreement are included in advanced technology costs, including certain demobilization and maintenance costs. Such costs totaled $4.0 million in the three months and $5.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, and $7.0 million in May-June 2014.
