Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On

Energy Conservation And Power

House Committee On Energy And Commerce






Information Qn DOE's Costing Aind

Pricing 0f Uranium Enrichment

Services


The Department of Energy (DOE) provides domestic and
foreign customers with enriched uranium for use as com-
mercial nuclear power reactor fuel. Competition from
foreign enrichment suppliers and from a secondary market
of surplus enriched uranium has led to a significant decline
in DOE's enrichment sales. During a March 1, 1984,
hearing before the subcommittee, GAO commented on a
number of DOE initiatives and proposals designed to
improve the uranium enrichment program's viability.
This report addresses topics raised during that hearing and
presents information on (1) DOE's historic pricing policy
and practices associated with providing uranium
enrichment services, (2) the historical annual enrichment
costs and prices, (3) the accumulated profit or loss reported
in the enrichment program's financial statements, (4) the
implications for recovering DOE's cost of providing
enrichment services at the $136 ceiling price provision
contained in the new enrichment services contract, and (5)
details on GAO's efforts to obtain information from DOE on
the ceiling price provision.
