• Did cheap Megatons-to-Megawatts Russian LEU actually cause USEC's 2014 bankruptcy, or was the American Centrifuge project's own cost overruns the driver — and what does a primary source say?

• USEC's own 10-K attributes the American Centrifuge Plant's non-viability primarily to a global post-Fukushima LEU oversupply, not specifically to the Russian LEU USEC itself imported

• USEC's own 10-K discloses a $1.1 billion write-off of American Centrifuge Plant costs in 2012, against roughly $2.5 billion spent cumulatively by the end of 2013
