What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Idaho National Laboratory conducted irradiation testing on fuel material samples from Lightbridge Corporation using the Fission Accelerated Steady-State Testing method. Lightbridge stated that this testing supports a broader program intended to confirm the fuel's safety, performance, and economic advantages compared to conventional nuclear fuel. Seth Grae, CEO of Lightbridge, noted that the information gathered provides meaningful validation of the fuel's engineering.
