In just a few weeks, we succeeded in producing HALEU - a critical material with a multi-year waitlist. The recovered HALEU was produced in research quantities under the laboratory-scale exclusion in NRC regulations and was verified to be 15.38% enriched by an independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab - well within the 5-20% qualifier for HALEU.

This week, @ActinideInc became the first startup in history to enrich uranium, producing HALEU, the fuel for next-gen and small modular reactors. We did it using Endurance, a particle accelerator that we designed and built in Texas. Endurance usually produces enriched Yb-176, a precursor for cancer therapies worth roughly $30,000 per gram. After a bulk Yb-176 delivery on July 30, we reconfigured Endurance for uranium.
