It was great to join @centrus_energy in Oak Ridge to celebrate a historic milestone for Tennessee and our nation. The first shipment of American-made centrifuges to Ohio marks a major step in restoring our domestic nuclear fuel supply, strengthening U.S. energy security, and creating good American jobs. Honored to stand with the team whose determination and expertise delivered this project early and on budget. Together, we’re fueling a brighter, safer, and more prosperous future for the United States!
