About Lightbridge
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 , 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 to deliver the same benefits, plus load-following with
renewables, on a zero-carbon electric grid.
Lightbridge has entered into two long-term framework agreements with Battelle Energy
Alliance, LLC, the United States Department of Energy s operating contractor for Idaho
National Laboratory, the United States lead nuclear energy research and development
laboratory. DOE s 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 s innovative
fuel technology. Lightbridge is included in the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 Indexes.

CEO Letter to
Stockholders
To our Valued Shareholders,
Let me start with the big picture, because the scale is difficult to overstate. The
world is entering an era of unprecedented electricity demand. Global electricity
demand is not just growing it is accelerating. In the United States alone, demand
is projected to grow by approximately 25% by the early 2030s. But the United States
is only part of the story. Across the developing world, billions of people are gaining
access to electric power. Economies are electrifying transportation, heating, and
industrial processes that previously relied on fossil fuels. Layered on top of all this is
the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and data centers, which require
massive amounts of reliable, baseload electricity.
Against this backdrop, nuclear energy is once
again
widely
recognized
as
essential.
Governments around the world have committed
to expanding nuclear capacity to achieve energy
security, decarbonization, and economic growth.
However, meeting this demand at the pace
required will depend on solutions that can be
deployed faster and more cost-effectively than
building entirely new reactor fleets.
This is where Lightbridge occupies a unique and
differentiated position in the nuclear industry.
From L to R: U.S. Senator Mike Lee (UT),
Lightbridge CEO Seth Grae, U.S. Energy
Secretary Christopher Wright, discussing
the resurgence of the U.S. nuclear energy
sector
Lightbridge is not developing a new reactor that
may take decades to license, construct, and
deploy.
Instead,
we
are
developing
a
fundamentally new nuclear fuel: a metallic
uranium zirconium alloy, co extruded with its
cladding in a patented helical multi lobe
geometry. This is a new fuel invention, not an
incremental evolution of today s fuel designs.
Our fuel is designed for use in existing and new light water reactors, enabling
significantly higher power output while simultaneously enhancing safety.
Lightbridge Corporation
Today, the vast majority of nuclear electricity worldwide is produced by large light
water reactors (LWRs), and almost all nuclear plants under construction or on order
are LWRs. These reactors are designed to operate for many decades, often
approaching a century through continued license extensions. We expect that
virtually all LWRs, existing and new, can be upgraded to use Lightbridge Fuel, making
fuel upgrades one of the most practical and cost effective ways to expand nuclear
energy output using infrastructure that is already licensed, built, and connected to
the grid.
While the global industry is also
developing over a hundred new
reactor
concepts,
including
microreactors, advanced reactors,
and small modular reactors, we
believe that electricity produced by
existing
and
new
LWRs
using
Lightbridge Fuel has the potential to
achieve lower levelized cost of
electricity than power from the
emerging designs, including light
Lightbridge and INL team performing a visual inspection of a
water
SMRs,
while
delivering finished
enriched uranium-zirconium coupon sample inside a
meaningful capacity growth at global
glovebox
scale.
2025 Achievements: Fuel Development Execution
During 2025, Lightbridge achieved significant fuel development milestones,
advancing from design and fabrication into active in-reactor testing. Key
accomplishments included:
Final Design Review Completed (June 2025):
Successfully completed the final design review for our irradiation experiment at
Idaho National Laboratory s Advanced Test Reactor (ATR). This rigorous,
multidisciplinary review independently validated our neutronics, thermal hydraulics,
and mechanical design parameters, clearing the path to fabrication and irradiation.
Took Advantage of the FAST Method (June 2025):
Announced the use of the Fission Accelerated Steady state Test (FAST) method,
utilizing highly enriched uranium (26 30%) to accelerate burnup accumulation and
compress testing timelines while preserving data relevance for NRC licensing.
Key Fabrication Milestone Achieved (July 2025):
Successfully produced enriched uranium zirconium alloy coupon samples using our
proprietary co extrusion process, the same process envisioned for commercial scale
manufacturing.
ATR Insertion and Start of Capsule Irradiation Testing (October November 2025):
Loaded capsules containing the fabricated fuel material coupon samples into the
ATR experiment assembly and commenced irradiation testing to generate critical
burnup dependent performance data.
