## Graney's Electric Boat and Navy Background

Graney spent nearly 30 years at General Dynamics in senior leadership roles. He was President of Electric Boat from 2019 until his retirement in 2024, overseeing expansion of operations to support construction of the U.S. Navy's Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines and Virginia-class attack submarines. Before that, he was President of National Steel and Shipbuilding Company from 2017 to 2019, following more than a decade in engineering, program management and operational leadership roles.

Graney began his career as a U.S. Naval Officer, serving aboard submarines and as an instructor at the Nuclear Power Training Unit in Ballston Spa, New York. After leaving the Navy in 1992, he joined Bechtel Power Corporation, where he held engineering roles supporting commercial nuclear power plants. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Engineering with a concentration in Nuclear Engineering from the State University of New York Maritime College.

Mikel Williams, Chairman of the Board, said Graney's experience guiding production capacity expansions is valuable as [Centrus Energy](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000g66/centrus-energy) builds out its centrifuge manufacturing program. "We are honored to welcome Kevin to the Board and look forward to benefiting from his leadership and insights," Williams said. Graney said Centrus is playing an important role in strengthening America's domestic nuclear fuel supply chain. "I am excited to join the Board and work alongside the management team to expand U.S. uranium enrichment capacity and help meet our nation's growing energy and national security needs," he said.

## Centrus Expansion Work Behind the Appointment

The records list a commercial LEU sales backlog of $2.3 billion supporting expansion plans. Centrus selected Geiger Brothers, Inc. in April 2026 as construction contractor for its multi-billion-dollar uranium enrichment capacity expansion at the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio.

## Centrifuge Shipments and Supplier Acquisition

Centrus began shipping centrifuges to Ohio on October 29, 2026, moving the first new centrifuge from its Oak Ridge plant for final assembly, with first new capacity expected in Ohio in 2029, PR Newswire reported. On November 2, 2026, The Motley Fool reported that Centrus acquired Westerman Holdings for $116 million to bring in-house uranium hexafluoride cylinder and centrifuge casing manufacturing. Simply Wall St reported on November 8, 2026, that Centrus shipped its first new centrifuge ahead of schedule and extended its uranium enrichment backlog through 2040.
