Lightbridge develops and owns advanced nuclear fuel designs for existing light water reactors currently in operation around the world and new generation light water reactors that are being built or have been proposed for construction worldwide
Lightbridge utilizes thorium-based nuclear fuel designs optimized to address key concerns typically attributed to traditional nuclear power, such as proliferation and waste. The result is an advanced fuel cycle which offers enhanced proliferation resistance, significantly reduced volume, weight and long-term radio-toxicity of used fuel, and improved fuel cycle economics.
Lightbridge Corporation's nuclear fuel designs are protected by U.S. patents and their foreign equivalent in several countries. We are continuously analyzing new intellectual property as it becomes available from our research and development activities to ensure all designs are protected either through patents or trade secrets.
