We are an Advanced Materials Company

Who are we?

Over the past 18 years, our scientists have developed the Aerodynamic Separation Process (ASP) that allows for the enrichment of isotopes that either cannot be enriched, or are challenging to enrich, using traditional approaches. Specifically, our technology allows us to enrich elements with both low and high atomic masses.

Our initial focus in on the production of Molybdenum-100 that we expect to compete with Molybdenum-99, which is currently used to produce technetium-99m, the most frequently used imaging radionuclide. The supply chain is highly complex and plagued by regular supply interruptions, which in turn is associated with serious implications for both hospitals and patients. The Global Mo-99 market is estimated at > $3bn.

Nine of the ten nuclear reactors that currently produce Mo-99 globally are expected to cease operations by 2030. Many companies and governments are searching for alternative methods of producing Technetium-99m that does not involve the fission of uranium.

We aim to complete the construction of our first enrichment facility by the end of 2022, with commissioning expected during 2023. We expect to start generating revenues during 2024. There has been significant interest from potential customers in our technology.

ASP makes us ideally situated to resolve the widely anticipated supply shortage of HALEU, the fuel that will power the nuclear reactors of the future. Our technology should allow for us to construct a HALEU plant at lower cost and in a shorter timeframe than alternative technologies.
