\nLightbridge Fuel is Designed to Provide the Greatest Power Uprates to Existing Pressurized Water Reactors
\n<\/h2>\n

RESTON, Va., March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lightbridge Corporation (\u201cLightbridge\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (Nasdaq: LTBR), an advanced nuclear fuel technology company, today commended the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s (\u201cDOE\u201d) launch of the\u00a0Utility Power Reactor Incremental Scaling Effort (\u201cUPRISE\u201d)<\/a>, a new initiative aimed at significantly expanding the nation\u2019s nuclear energy capacity by maximizing the output of existing reactors, restarting dormant facilities, and extending reactor operating lifespans.<\/p>\n

Announced on March 12, 2026, the UPRISE initiative targets 2.5 GW of additional nuclear capacity by 2027 and 5 GW of total additional capacity by 2029<\/a>. The initiative directly advances the objectives of executive orders signed by President Trump in May 2025, which call for quadrupling U.S. nuclear generating capacity from approximately 100 GW to 400 GW by 2050 and directing DOE to facilitate 5 GW of nuclear power uprates at existing reactors.<\/p>\n

UPRISE consists of a three-pronged approach: establishing the business case through supply chain and equipment assessments, facilitating physical plant upgrades requiring license amendments, and supporting reactor restarts. The DOE\u2019s Office of Energy Dominance Financing has more than $289 billion in available loan authority. It is prepared to provide up to 80 percent financing for eligible project costs associated with nuclear uprates at attractive interest rates.<\/p>\n

\n Power uprates<\/a> represent one of the most cost-effective pathways to expanding nuclear energy capacity in the United States. Historically, 171 approved uprates have added approximately 8.5 GW of electric capacity to the U.S. grid<\/a>\u2014the equivalent of roughly eight large reactors\u2014at a fraction of the cost of new construction. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission currently anticipates approximately 30 additional uprate applications through 2030, representing roughly 2.5 GW of potential new capacity.<\/p>\n

Lightbridge Fuel\u2122 can play a meaningful role in supporting the goals of the UPRISE initiative. Lightbridge Fuel is being designed to provide the greatest power uprates to existing pressurized water reactors. Lightbridge Fuel\u2019s proprietary helical multi-lobe design operates at approximately 1,000\u00b0C cooler than conventional nuclear fuel, significantly enhancing safety margins and reducing the risk of hydrogen generation during design basis events.<\/p>\n

While DOE officials have indicated that initial UPRISE capacity targets through 2027 are based on conventional uprate methods, we believe advanced fuel technologies can contribute meaningfully to capacity expansion goals in the 2030s and beyond. Lightbridge\u2019s ongoing irradiation testing<\/a> of enriched uranium-zirconium alloy fuel material samples in the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory, which commenced in November 2025, positions the Company to support this next phase of generating capacity expansion within the U.S. nuclear reactor fleet.<\/p>\n

Seth Grae, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lightbridge, commented, \u201cWe commend the Department of Energy for launching the UPRISE initiative, which represents a decisive and practical step toward strengthening America\u2019s energy security. Power uprates at existing reactors are among the fastest and most cost-effective ways to put more clean, reliable electricity on the grid\u2014and they align directly with the President\u2019s executive orders to expand our nation\u2019s nuclear capacity. Lightbridge Fuel is being designed to deliver meaningful power uprates with enhanced safety margins, and we look forward to contributing to this important national effort as our fuel technology progresses through its development program and commercial deployment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n About Lightbridge Corporation<\/strong>\u00a0
Lightbridge Corporation (NASDAQ: LTBR) is focused on developing advanced nuclear fuel technology essential to delivering abundant, zero-emission, clean energy and providing energy security to the world. The Company is developing Lightbridge Fuel\u2122, a proprietary next-generation nuclear fuel technology for existing light-water and pressurized heavy-water reactors, significantly enhancing reactor safety, economics, and proliferation resistance. The Company is also developing Lightbridge Fuel for new small modular reactors\u00a0to deliver the same benefits, plus load-following with renewables, on a zero-carbon electric grid.<\/p>\n

Lightbridge has entered into two long-term framework agreements with Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC, the United States Department of Energy\u2019s operating contractor for Idaho National Laboratory, the United States\u2019 lead nuclear energy research and development laboratory. DOE\u2019s Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear program has twice awarded Lightbridge to support the development of Lightbridge Fuel over the past several years. An extensive worldwide patent portfolio backs Lightbridge\u2019s innovative fuel technology. Lightbridge is included in the Russell 2000\u00ae and Russell 3000\u00ae Indexes.
