- How lasers could help provide fuel for nuclear reactors
Global Laser Enrichment (GLE) is developing laser enrichment technology to reprocess uranium waste in Paducah, Kentucky, aiming to produce nuclear fuel more efficiently than conventional centrifuge methods. The technique uses lasers to target specific uranium isotopes, enabling selective separation and potentially supporting advanced reactor designs.
