Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 3, 2005, the two-month transition period under the existing employment arrangement with James R. Mellor, the former interim president and chief executive officer of USEC Inc. ("USEC" or the "Company"), ended. Mr. Mellor will continue in his role as Chairman of the Board. In addition to exercising his responsibilities as Chairman, the Board has asked Mr. Mellor to continue to provide counsel on strategies and other matters affecting the Company. Given the substantial amount of time and effort that Mr. Mellor is expected to spend fulfilling these duties, the Board approved a letter agreement with Mr. Mellor entered into on December 1, 2005 and effective December 3, 2005. Under the terms of the letter agreement, Mr. Mellor will receive an annual chairman’s fee of $400,000. Mr. Mellor will also be entitled to the annual compensation and meeting fees payable to all USEC non-employee directors, including a pro-rated portion of the annual retainer, annual restricted stock grant, annual option grant and incentive stock award paid to directors in April 2005 for the current board term ending in April 2006. The foregoing summary of the letter agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the letter agreement filed as Exhibit 10.91 to this Form 8-K.
