Exclusive worldwide licensee of the SILEX laser technology for uranium enrichment.

GLE was formed in 2007 to develop and commercialize laser-based uranium enrichment technology capability in the U.S., with over $400 million invested in GLE’s commercialization program to date.

Since its inception, GLE has worked closely with Silex Systems of Australia, the inventor of the laser enrichment process, to advance the SILEX laser enrichment technology towards commercial launch for uranium enrichment.
