Engineering Study of Lightbridge Fuel for use in CANDU reactors

 

On October 16, 2023, we engaged Institutul de Cercetări Nucleare Pitești, a subsidiary of Regia Autonoma Tehnologii pentru Energia Nucleara in Romania to perform an engineering study to assess the compatibility and suitability of Lightbridge Fuel for use in CANDU reactors. This assessment, to be completed by the end of 2024, will cover key areas including mechanical design, neutronics analysis, and thermal and thermal-hydraulic evaluations. The total fixed price to be paid by the Company for this study is $186,300, with $55,890 due within 15 calendar days of signing this agreement and the remaining balance, consisting of two payments of $70,349 and $60,061, due upon the meeting and acceptance of certain task milestones.
