Subsequent Event [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	SUBSEQUENT EVENT On January 11, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with DOE and the United States government regarding breach of contract claims relating to work performed by the Company under contracts with DOE and subcontracts with DOE contractors. As of December 31, 2017, the receivables balance related to the claims being settled is $14.5 million. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, DOE has agreed to settle all claims raised as part of and subsequent to the litigation for a total of $24.0 million and provide a complete close out of all such contracts and subcontracts settled under the settlement agreement without any further audit or review of the Company’s costs or incurred cost submissions. Under the settlement agreement, payment will be made by applying approximately $19.3 million of unapplied payments received from the United States government in prior years and the United States government making a cash payment of approximately $4.7 million. The Company has also agreed not to seek any additional payments under certain DOE subcontracts, as specified in the settlement agreement, for the periods of January 1, 2003, through September 30, 2017. The criteria to recognize additional revenues were satisfied at the time the settlement agreement was finalized and the Company expects to record revenues of approximately $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 related to the settlement. Certain claims, including, but not limited to, any claims relating to work performed under American Centrifuge project contracts after September 30, 2017, or any claims related to the Company’s subcontracts with UT-Battelle, for work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, are excepted from the settlement agreement. Also excepted from the settlement agreement are the Company’s claims in its ongoing litigation with DOE relating to pension and postretirement benefit cost adjustments. Refer to Note 4, Receivables, for additional details.
