LIS Technologies Inc. (“LIST” or “the Company”), a proprietary developer of advanced laser technology and the only USA-origin and patented laser uranium enrichment company, today announced that it has appointed Mike Campbell, an internationally known expert in Inertial Fusion, High Energy Density Physics, high power lasers and their applications, as its Chairman of the Executive Advisory Board for Laser and Nuclear Technologies.
“The Company’s patented technology has long been regarded as the ‘Holy Grail’ of laser enrichment, and I am thrilled to take an active role in advancing it at this critical juncture for the United States,” said Mike Campbell, Chairman of the Executive Advisory Board for Laser and Nuclear Technologies of LIS Technologies Inc. “The industry is currently more active than it has been in decades, with strong support from government leaders. The United States urgently needs this technology to secure its energy sovereignty and establish a robust domestic supply chain for enriched uranium, reducing dependence on foreign sources. The Department of Energy projects that the U.S. will require more than 50 megatons of high-assay low-enriched uranium by 2035, and LIS Technologies is ideally positioned to help meet that demand.”
Throughout his 40-year career, Mr. Campbell has held various scientific and leadership positions across both federal laboratories and the private sector, including notable roles at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he originated the National Ignition Facility, General Atomics, Logos Technologies, and Sandia National Laboratory.
