LIS Technologies Receives Initial Uranium Hexafluoride Shipment

Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Oct. 08, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- LIS Technologies Inc., a proprietary developer of advanced laser technology and the only U.S.-origin and patented laser uranium enrichment company, has announced a significant developmental milestone with the acceptance of its initial shipment of Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6) for the demonstration and optimization of its CRISLA-4G process at its Test Demonstration Facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The facility is located on the footprint of the former K-25 gaseous diffusion plant, a cornerstone of the Manhattan Project.

This shipment represents a crucial step forward for the company, which received a key Radioactive Material License from the State of Tennessee in late 2025. The acceptance of this initial shipment is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the LIST team, who have been working to revive and optimize the proprietary CRISLA technology in support of the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle.

The shipment of UF6 will enable LIST to engage in optimization activities, including proof-of-concept testing, process optimization, materials qualification, and UF6 systems commissioning and integrated loop testing. This is a significant achievement for the company, which aims to reinforce U.S. energy security and position itself as a world leader in cost-effective and energy-efficient enrichment, utilizing the only U.S. origin and patented technology for laser uranium enrichment.

The initial shipment of UF6 is also a crucial step towards the company's future plans. The company is committed to establishing its flagship commercial laser-based uranium enrichment facilities on its 206-acre LIST Island, which is located at the heart of the historic K-25 zone. This site will serve as the foundation for the company's PROJECT F.U.E.L, a project aimed at shaping the future of U.S. laser-based uranium enrichment.

LIS Technologies Inc. is a USA-based, proprietary developer of a patented advanced laser technology, making use of infrared lasers to selectively excite the molecules of desired isotopes to separate them from other isotopes. The Laser Isotope Separation Technology (L.I.S.T) has a wide range of applications, including being the only U.S. origin (and patented) laser uranium enrichment company, and several major advantages over traditional methods such as gas diffusion, centrifuges, and prior art laser enrichment. The LIST proprietary laser-based process is more energy-efficient and has the potential to be deployed with highly competitive capital and operational costs. L.I.S.T is optimized for LEU (Low Enriched Uranium) for existing civilian nuclear power plants, High-Assay LEU (HALEU) for the next generation of Small Modular Reactors (SMR) and Microreactors, the production of stable isotopes for medical and scientific research, and applications in quantum computing manufacturing for semiconductor technologies.
