USEC Layoffs Hit 90 At ACP
by G. Sam Piatt

The first round of layoffs affecting USEC Inc. workers at the company’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon came Friday as 90 employees were given layoff notices.

The furloughs were the result of the U.S. Department of Energy’s delay in granting a Loan Guarantee for the plant and USEC’s subsequent demobilization caused by the delay, according to Elizabeth M. Stuckle, USEC’s director of communications.

The job losses left 233 USEC workers on the job as employment stood at 323 before the layoffs.

USEC has said it expects to employ 417 full-time workers when the plant reaches anticipated full operations in 2012....

This is a real blow to a sorely depressed area.
