ASP Isotopes Enters Memorandum of Understanding with Necsa for Advanced Nuclear Fuel Production Collaboration

Washington, D.C., November 14, 2024 – ASP Isotopes Inc. (NASDAQ: ASPI) has recently disclosed a significant strategic development. The company announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa). The collaboration aims to focus on research, development, and commercial production of advanced nuclear fuels, specifically High Assay Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU) for Small Modular Reactors. This mutually beneficial agreement signifies a crucial stride towards technological advancement and innovation in the nuclear fuel industry.

Necsa, a state-owned organization established under the Republic of South Africa Nuclear Energy Act, holds a vital role in nuclear energy research and development, radiation sciences, and material processing. The Memorandum of Understanding sets the framework for collaboration to advance new nuclear fuel technologies, with discussions centered on the production of HALEU tailored for small modular reactors and the potential construction of a dedicated nuclear fuel facility.

The envisioned location for the research, development, and construction activities related to the HALEU production facility is at Pelindaba, South Africa. Pelindaba serves as the primary nuclear research hub in South Africa, housing the SAFARI-1 research nuclear reactor, which is renowned for its significant contributions to the production of radioisotopes, including Molybdenum-99.

The MOU was formalized during a signing ceremony at Pelindaba on November 14, 2024. The event witnessed the participation of key figures from both ASP Isotopes and Necsa, highlighting the commitment to technological collaboration and the shared vision of promoting nuclear technology for sustainable energy solutions.

The partnership between ASP Isotopes and Necsa holds promising prospects for the future of advanced nuclear fuel production. It not only aims to enhance technological capabilities but also underscores the importance of sustainable energy solutions and economic growth through nuclear innovation.

Throughout the upcoming years, ASP Isotopes envisions operationalizing the collaborative efforts to construct an advanced nuclear fuel facility, enabling the production and supply of essential nuclear fuels to meet the escalating global demand for clean energy solutions.

Investors and stakeholders are keenly watching the progress of this collaboration as it unfolds, with expectations set on achieving significant milestones in the nuclear energy sector.
