- 3. The nuclear energyindustry has lain stagnant for over 30 years and has suffered from missteps and perception issues. Lightbridge is here to innovate and change the conversation. 3
- 4. By listening toutilities we saw we could solve industry issues by designing new fuel which is compatible with existing & new reactors. The resulting solution- Lightbridge’s proprietary fuel technology- addresses the two overarching issues afflicting the nuclear industry. Lightbridge delivers: . Improved Economics . Improved Safety power uprates for existing pressurized water reactors 10% power uprates for new build pressurized water reactors 30% period between refueling outages increased from 18 to 24 months for existing pressurized water reactors +6 months ahead of any potential competitor due to testing and regulatory requirements 10+ yrs. 4
