Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Special Charges | SPECIAL CHARGES In September 2015, Centrus completed a successful three-year demonstration of the existing American Centrifuge technology at its facility in Piketon, Ohio. The demonstration effort was funded by the U.S. government through our contract with UT-Battelle, LLC (“UT-Battelle”), the operator of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”). Centrus notified its American Centrifuge employees in September 2015 of possible layoffs beginning in November 2015 as a result of reduced program funding. Based on the level of funding reduction, Centrus incurred a special charge of $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2015 for estimated termination benefits, consisting primarily of payments under its pre-existing severance plan. Centrus expects to make payments for these workforce reductions through early 2017. In addition, the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (the “Paducah GDP”) and evolving business needs have resulted in workforce reductions since July 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, special charges included related termination benefits of $0.9 million, less $0.3 million for severance paid by the Company and invoiced to the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) for its share of employee severance pursuant to the USEC Privatization Act. Centrus made payments for termination benefits of $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, and the related balance sheet liability declined from $8.7 million as of December 31, 2015 to $6.9 million as of March 31, 2016.
