QLE HALEU Supply and Enrichment Facilities
Sector: Power Generation (CCGT) • Location: Pretoria, Amarillo, Berkeley, Gauteng, Texas, Gloucestershire, South Africa, USA, United Kingdom
Source: Nuclear Engineering International
Quantum Leap Energy (QLE), a subsidiary of ASP Isotopes, has signed a framework agreement to supply high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to a European advanced reactor developer. The project involves planned conversion and enrichment facilities using proprietary Aerodynamic Separation Process (ASP) and Quantum Enrichment (QE) technologies to produce HALEU with uranium-235 content exceeding 10%.

Description
Description | Quantum Leap Energy (QLE), a subsidiary of ASP Isotopes, has signed a framework agreement to supply high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to a European advanced reactor developer. The project involves planned conversion and enrichment facilities using proprietary Aerodynamic Separation Process (ASP) and Quantum Enrichment (QE) technologies to produce HALEU with uranium-235 content exceeding 10%. Initial commercial deliveries are targeted for 2028, scaling up by 2036 to match reactor deployment. Facilities are planned in South Africa (Pelindaba), the US (Texas), and the UK (Berkeley site). The project aims to leverage modular, containerized enrichment cascades to reduce construction time and regulatory delays by utilizing existing licensed nuclear sites. |
