Federal watchdogs last year accused DOE of breaking the law to support USEC, accusations the agency denied.
The Government Accountability Office found the agency had violated laws on fair pricing and national security when it arranged four uranium transfers in 2012 and 2013 to bolster USEC. The agency lacked authority to transfer "tails," or leftover depleted uranium, to a third party for re-enrichment under restrictions imposed by the USEC Privatization Act, GAO found (Greenwire, June 9, 2014).

I wonder who they transferred that uranium to?
