RESTON, Va., Feb. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightbridge Corporation (NASDAQ: LTBR), a nuclear fuel developer, announces that Seth Grae, the Company’s CEO, along with other leading nuclear power industry executives, were invited to meet yesterday with President Donald J. Trump at the White House to discuss a variety of issues relating to nuclear energy.
Executives attending the event highlighted how the U.S. nuclear power industry helps bring the strongest non-proliferation, safety and security standards to global markets. Also discussed were strengths of nuclear suppliers from across the U.S. industry, and how these strengths contribute to the domestic industrial base that is vital to American companies competing and winning overseas.
Seth Grae, President & Chief Executive Officer of Lightbridge Corporation, commented, “The energy industry represents critical infrastructure in any country, and we value the opportunity to share our thoughts on how to maintain U.S. leadership in this global field. We appreciate the strong support from the administration for the nuclear power industry and agree that a strong industrial base that is aligned with our national security and economic policies serves to advance innovative technology, modern infrastructure and the highest quality of life. We also appreciate the opportunity to state the exceptional benefits of Lightbridge Fuel directly to President Trump.”
About Lightbridge Corporation
Lightbridge (LTBG) (NASDAQ: LTBR) is a nuclear fuel technology development company based in Reston, Virginia, USA. The Company develops proprietary next generation nuclear fuel technologies for current and future reactors, which significantly enhances the economics and safety of nuclear power, operating about 1000° C cooler than standard fuel. In January 2018, Lightbridge and Framatome, Inc. formed a 50-50 joint venture, Enfission, LLC, to develop, license, manufacture, and sell nuclear fuel assemblies based on Lightbridge-designed metallic fuel technology and other advanced nuclear fuel intellectual property. Enfission has the exclusive rights to this technology and is responsible for the development of manufacturing processes and fuel assembly designs for pressurized water reactors (PWRs), boiling water reactors (BWRs), water-cooled small modular reactors, and water-cooled research reactors developed around this intellectual property. PWRs and BWRs constitute the most widely used reactor types in the world. Four large electric utilities that generate about half the nuclear power in the US already advise Lightbridge on fuel development and deployment. In addition to distributions from Enfission based on the parties’ ownership interest in the joint venture, Lightbridge anticipates receiving future licensing revenues in connection with sales by Enfission of nuclear fuel incorporating its intellectual property. Lightbridge also provides comprehensive advisory services for established and emerging nuclear programs based on a philosophy of transparency, non-proliferation, safety and operational excellence.
