Ok come on, this is the biggest supplier of uranium fuel in the world for nuclear reactors. Not exactly a dot.com startup. USEC Inc. is a global energy company engaged in the supply of low enriched uranium (LEU) for commercial nuclear power plants. LEU is a critical component in the production of nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors to produce electricity. USEC's customers are domestic and international utilities that operate nuclear power plants. The Company is the exclusive executive agent for the United States Government to purchase LEU derived from highly enriched uranium contained in decommissioned nuclear warheads in Russia. USEC uses the gaseous diffusion process, which involves the passage of uranium in a gaseous form through a series of filters (or porous barriers), such that the uranium is continuously enriched in U235 (uranium-235) as it moves through the process. The Company purchases a portion of the electric power for its Paducah plant from Electric Energy, Inc. (EEI) under a power purchase contract between DOE (the United States Department of Energy) and EEI
