This is what chatgpt has to say about the power consumption of AVLIS (the enrichment technology ASPI use of ASPI use for U & Yb):

"ChatGPT said:The electrical power consumption of the Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) process is not as well-documented as that of other enrichment technologies like gaseous diffusion or gas centrifuges. However, based on available information, AVLIS is generally considered more energy-efficient than gaseous diffusion but less so than gas centrifuges.neimagazine.com+11link.springer.com+11info.ornl.gov+11Gaseous diffusion plants typically require about 2,400 to 2,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per Separative Work Unit (SWU), while gas centrifuge plants require only about 50 to 60 kWh per SWU . AVLIS, being a laser-based technology, likely falls between these two in terms of energy consumption.

Specific figures for AVLIS's energy consumption per SWU are scarce, but it is generally regarded as more energy-efficient than gaseous diffusion. For instance, a 9 million SWU/year AVLIS plant producing 3.2% enriched uranium was reported to have a power consumption of 2,300 to 3,000 kWh per SWU .

In summary, while exact figures for AVLIS's electrical power consumption per SWU are not readily available, it is generally considered more energy-efficient than gaseous diffusion but less so than gas centrifuge

ASPI have long way to go to for Quantum Leap to achieve our consumption of 25kwhr/SWU! let alone to have a reliable/sustainable commercial operation when major components (the evaporation chamber) has an operational life of under 400hrs (due to corrosion and condensation of uranium/ytterbium vapour on optics) - see HERE.
