Lightbridge Corporation has been selected for the U.S. Department of Energy's Launch Pad program, enabling an accelerated two-pronged commercialization approach for Lightbridge Fuel™ using the Special HALEU Extrusion Demonstration (SHED) facility under DOE authorization and the Lightbridge Expandable Fuel Facility (LEFF) pursuing NRC licensing. This strategy shortens time-to-market and reduces costs compared to previous plans.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.
