Quantum Leap Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASP Isotopes Inc., has appointed Nate Salpeter as chief technology officer. Salpeter brings over 15 years of experience in physics-constrained energy technology optimisation and computational frameworks for nuclear energy systems. Salpeter previously served as the first fluid dynamicist at both TerraPower and Kairos Power, where he developed computational fluid dynamics and modelling methods. He has also worked on TerraPower's Traveling Wave Reactor and Natrium project, and served as a consortium-wide technical lead for a US Department of Energy-funded programme. At Quantum Leap Energy, Salpeter will focus on optimising the company's existing technologies, implementing rapid learning cycles, and establishing computational and experimental frameworks to advance its clean energy technologies and commercial goals.

ASP Isotopes has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Quantum Leap Energy has established a Strategic Advisory Board, appointing nuclear industry leaders Mary Lou Dunzik-Gougar and Kevin Kramer as initial members. The board will guide QLE's efforts to address gaps in the nuclear fuel cycle for advanced reactors and fusion systems. QLE is developing proprietary technologies for the nuclear fuel cycle, emphasising modular, scalable designs with advanced materials and automation to reduce costs and enhance safety. The company plans to leverage ASPI's isotope separation technologies, including the Aerodynamic Separation Process and Quantum Enrichment process, for isotopic products critical to nuclear fuel production. QLE has established strategic partnerships with industry leaders including TerraPower, Fermi America and South Africa's Necsa to commercialise isotopes essential for next-generation nuclear energy systems.

ASP Isotopes has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quantum Leap Energy (QLE), will establish its global headquarters in Austin, Texas. The company, which focuses on advancing technologies across the nuclear fuel cycle, plans to build significant operational presence in the state. QLE intends to work with Fermi America on a joint venture to develop a high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) enrichment facility in Amarillo, Texas, alongside a commercial facility for stable isotopes and advanced nuclear materials production. The move comes as the US Department of Energy estimates the country will need 50 metric tonnes of HALEU annually by 2035, rising to 500 metric tonnes by 2050. QLE uses proprietary Aerodynamic Separation Process and Quantum Enrichment technologies to address supply chain gaps for advanced nuclear reactors and fusion systems.
