What happened
Aternium plans to construct a $380-million facility in Dover, Delaware, to produce high-purity hydrogen and heavy water, also known as deuterium oxide. The project, which is currently in the planning phase, has been accepted into the JobsFirst Permitting Accelerator, supported by Governor Matt Meyer. Construction is anticipated to begin in late November of next year.

Why it matters
The facility is intended to produce heavy water for industries including pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, defense, and advanced technology. The project is expected to create approximately 50 permanent technical and manufacturing jobs, along with hundreds of construction jobs. This investment aims to strengthen domestic supply chains for heavy water in the United States.
