A private company in Tennessee wants to build enough laser uranium enrichment capacity to cover roughly 37% of what the entire US reactor fleet needs today. LIS Technologies is reviving CRISLA, a uranium-enrichment technology that goes back decades. CRISLA is not coming out of nowhere either. Cameco was involved with the technology in the past, and LIST has since recruited engineers with backgrounds at Silex/GLE and ASML. The ambition is huge: 5.5 million SWU/year of enrichment capacity at Oak Ridge for an announced $1.38 billion. But the modern CRISLA system still has a lot to prove. LIST has not yet published modern uranium assay, throughput or recovery results. That could start changing soon. The company has now received its first UF₆ for the Oak Ridge test loop, meaning CRISLA-4G can finally start generating the uranium data that matters. And uranium investors should care. If enrichment gets cheap enough, utilities can stretch each pound further and even bring old depleted uranium back into the fuel cycle. So how much of CRISLA is actually proven, and how much is still ambition? I went looking for the answer in the full article. @LaserisTech @cameconews @ASMLcompany
