REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Issues Concerning The Department Of

Energy's Justification For Building

The Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Plant



The Department of Energy is building a gas
cent ifuge uranium enrichment plant at
Portsmouth, Ohio. By the end of this fiscal
year the Department will have spent about
$1.2 billion on the project. The Department
experts to complete the project by 1994 at a
total cost of about $7 billion (fiscal year
1983 dollars).

GAC's evaluation raises a number of ques-
tions about the Department's justification.
Congress should consider the information
developed in this report, along with other
considerations, in making future funding
decisions on the centrifuge plant. In addi-
tion, GAO points out that the Congress
should view a decision to build the incre-
ment of the plant now under construction
as a commitment to build the entire plant.
