Maybe,
But they are just stalling if that is the case,Wilmington is the key IMHO, with a large permanent workforce, the centrifuge people can't use UNF to make HALEU so they want to ban re use of UNF to make HALEU and the miners may be also looking at ways to prevent it's use also?
But Laser technology only targets the desired isotope U235 and GE are looking at ways to make sure that the assays are up to spec anyway!
I suspect that Wilmington initially will and could have been using perhaps mined material or tails to prove the commercial laser plant and they would have produced product from that, whose to say they haven't made HALEU already there to prove that they can be made on a commercial basis? is this what they are trying to sell as part of the IRA? and at the same time prove up the tech for use at Paducah and to get a loan guarantee in then same breath?

And re use of UNF is certainly coming!
