    Question here, where will Lightbridge get their HALEU from for the production of these new accident tolerant fuel rods to refuel today's commercial BWR reactors and the future commercial SMR's?

    The Centrus BWXT consortium will get some of their HALEU from down blended HEU and maybe some produced by BWXT themselves for military purposes I believe?

    The GNF-A XEnergy consortium will be making fuel for the military and NASA as well, both would be considered Military use I believe?
    Where will they get their HALEU fuel from for these new accident tolerant military fuels ?

    Lightbridge Provides Video Demonstration of Co-Extrusion Manufacturing Process for Lightbridge Fuel™ Rods

    GlobeNewswire

    January 7, 2020
    RESTON, Va., Jan. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightbridge Corporation (LTBR), a nuclear fuel developer, today released a video demonstrating its co-extrusion manufacturing process using surrogate materials for the production of full commercial length Lightbridge Fuel™ rods for large light water reactors (12-ft. long), as well as for small modular reactors (6-ft. long). The surrogate materials in the demonstration were selected to simulate the flow stresses, temperatures and extrusion pressures expected in the manufacture of actual Lightbridge Fuel™ rods, which utilize a uranium-zirconium alloy.
    The video of the demonstration can be found on the Company’s website at www.ltbridge.com or through its YouTube Channel at https://youtu.be/RaLprOZH1lg
    The demonstration of Lightbridge’s fuel manufacturing process utilizes an internally developed and patented high temperature co-extrusion process. Lightbridge Fuel™ is designed to significantly enhance the economics and safety of nuclear power, by extending core life, increasing power output, and lessening the number of refueling outages, while operating about 1000° C cooler than standard oxide fuel.
    Seth Grae, President & Chief Executive Officer of Lightbridge Corporation, commented, “Through our successful demonstration of the co-extrusion of commercial-length fuel rods with surrogate materials, designed for most water-cooled reactors, we hope to advance our commercialization efforts in what is a growing global nuclear power industry. Recently, the U.S. Congress voted to approve $1.5 billion in appropriations for nuclear energy programs, a record for nuclear energy. We will continue to focus on making progress on our fuel development milestones that we believe will drive long-term shareholder value.”

    About Lightbridge Fuel™
    Lightbridge Fuel™ is designed for existing and new reactors, improving their economics by increasing power output and enabling longer fuel cycles. Lightbridge Fuel™ can add non-carbon-emitting baseload electricity with improved reactor safety. Lightbridge invented and patented this technology and expects to demonstrate its fuel in research reactors in the next several years.
    About Lightbridge Corporation
    Lightbridge (LTBR) is a nuclear fuel technology development company based in Reston, Virginia, USA. The Company develops proprietary next generation nuclear fuel technologies for current and future reactors, which significantly enhances the economics and safety of nuclear power, operating about 1000° C cooler than standard fuel. Lightbridge invented, patented and has independently validated the technology, including successful demonstration of the fuel in a research reactor with plans to demonstrate the fuel under commercial reactor conditions. The Company has assembled a world class development team including veterans of leading global fuel manufacturers. Four large electric utilities that generate about half the nuclear power in the US already advise Lightbridge on fuel development and deployment. The Company operates under a licensing and royalty model, independently validated and based on the increased power generated by Lightbridge-designed fuel and high ROI for operators of existing and new reactors.
