Lightbridge Corporation on nuclear fuel technology

Lightbridge Corporation (NASDAQ: LTBR) is focused on developing advanced nuclear fuel technology essential for 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 reactors 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 (SMRs) to bring the same benefits plus load-following with renewables on a zero-carbon electric grid. Lightbridge has secured a long-term strategic partnership with Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the United States' lead nuclear energy research and development laboratory, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). DOE’s Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) program has twice awarded Lightbridge to support the development of Lightbridge Fuel. Lightbridge is participating in two university-led studies through the DOE Nuclear Energy University Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Texas A&M University. An extensive worldwide patent portfolio backs Lightbridge’s innovative fuel technology. https://www.google.com/amp/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/lightbridge-announces-u-department-energy-171300964.html

        Fine, but we need change now. Nuclear plants take decades to build. Perhaps, the new technology can be deployed faster, but as far as I have heard it is still in the very early stages. I think we need wind and solar ASAP and perhaps there is a role for nuclear in the future. I am not against nuclear, but I don't feel like it can be deployed and scaled up fast enough. The time line we need is 7-12 years or less. Could we have nuclear power contributing significant portions of power in that sort of time line?
