Quantum Leap Energy (QLE) is the nuclear fuel subsidiary of ASP Isotopes, which announces its news. It is developing two isotope enrichment technologies: Quantum Enrichment, a laser-based separation process, and the Aerodynamic Separation Process, which separates isotopes in a stationary tube using swirling gas flows rather than centrifuges. It aims to produce high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU, enriched to between 5% and 20% uranium-235) and LEU+ fuel for advanced reactors, and says its technologies could also enrich lithium; it plans to expand into conversion, deconversion and waste treatment. Its announced partners include TerraPower, for long-term HALEU supply, and South Africa's nuclear energy corporation Necsa. In February 2026 ASP Isotopes said QLE would set up its global headquarters in Austin, Texas.
