What these terms mean
Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.
- Supplier
- Supplies components, materials or fuel to the sector without developing a reactor or device of its own.
- Fuel cycle
- Mining, conversion, enrichment, fabrication, reprocessing, waste and tritium supply.
- High-assay low-enriched uranium
- 5–20% U-235. The binding supply constraint for most advanced reactor designs.
In ASP Isotopes’s own words
Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.
ASP Isotopes has its origins in the South African Uranium Enrichment Program of the 1980s. We utilize two proprietary technologies for the enrichment of isotopes which have been developed over the last 20 years by our scientists:
Isotope enrichment facilities using our technology can be constructed at a fraction of capital cost and time vs. traditional isotope separation facilities.
Our enrichment plants are designed to harvest and enrich a natural mix of isotopes, producing zero waste (not radioactive or any other waste in any form).
ASPI’s advanced technology leverages 20+ years of R&D history to enrich isotopes in varying levels of atomic mass. Our goal is to use innovative technology to become an indispensable supplier of enriched isotopes to three multi-billion-dollar end markets:
Where ASP Isotopes sits
Composed from records in this dataset, not from outside research. Every figure below is counted from what the site holds, so it moves when the data does.
It is one of 103 we hold in US.
