Lightbridge shares findings from three technical papers at TopFuel 2024

Lightbridge (LTBR)shares findings from three technical papers presented at the TopFuel 2024 Conference in Grenoble, France. These papers, produced by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, Structural Integrity Associates, SIA, and Lightbridge further validate the enhanced safety and performance of Lightbridge Fuel, particularly its improved performance under extreme conditions. Key findings from the MIT study: The MIT findings confirm that Lightbridge Fuel operates at significantly lower temperatures compared to traditional fuel, with improved safety margins that can enable power uprate opportunities while maintaining safe operation of the fuel. The study emphasized Lightbridge Fuel’s potential for power uprates, enabling reactors to generate more power safely. Key Findings from the SIA Study: In summary, the Lightbridge metallic fuel offers improved safety performance over UO2 fuel in accident conditions by maintaining lower temperatures and reducing oxidation. Summary of the Lightbridge paper presented at the TopFuel 2024 Conference: These studies have confirmed the expected performance of Lightbridge Fuel and provided a basis for continued development and future regulatory licensing.
