Global Laser Enrichment is an energy company that develops laser uranium enrichment technology for nuclear fuel production. Lasers produce precise wavelengths of light, which can then be used to increase the energy of atomic or molecular species consisting of a specific isotope, changing their properties and allowing them to be separated. In the case of uranium, the U-235 isotopes are selectively excited and harvested separately from the more common U-238 isotopes, resulting in an increased concentration of U-235 over the initial uranium feedstock. The enriched product can then be used to produce fuel for generating nuclear energy, including for new reactor types that require higher enrichment levels. GLE is the exclusive worldwide licensee of the highly efficient SILEX uranium enrichment process, invented by Australian company Silex Systems, GLE’s 51% owner.
