Historical
Enrichment
Technologies
First Generation
Diffusion Plants
Now obsolete (β = 1.004)*
Second Generation
Centrifuge Plants
Costly and mostly foreign owned (β = 1.25)
Third Generation
Laser Enrichment Technologies
The “Holy Grail” of Enrichment (β > 3)
Has been attempted by 20+ countries since 1971
Proven viability in a lab setting, but scaling efforts to date have been insufficient
Superior efficiency and cost-effectiveness to current comparables
Modern AVLIS and 16μm MLIS efforts have poor efficiencies and high costs
Condensation Repression Isotope Selective Laser Activation
Patented Technology
A demonstrated US-origin laser enrichment technology
that is scalable, efficient and cost competitive
