New York, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LIS Technologies Inc. (“LIST” or “the Company”), a proprietary developer of advanced laser technology and the only USA-origin and patented laser uranium enrichment company, today announced that it has appointed Keith Everly as its Head of Security and IP Management.
Mr. Everly served as Senior Program Manager for Licensee Security and was the lead inspector for the protection of classified matter at all uranium enrichment plants regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In this role, he managed the agency’s program that granted NRC licensees access to classified information.
“Throughout my career, I have focused on aligning applicants with regulatory frameworks to streamline the process and ensure regulatory compliance for innovative advancements in the nuclear industry,” said Keith Everly, Head of Security and IP Management of LIS Technologies Inc. “With regulatory processes set to be modernized and optimized to meet today’s needs, I am excited to bring my expertise to LIST to help drive the revival of its proprietary, patented laser enrichment technology. Having been demonstrated on United States soil and designated with a Technology Readiness Level of 4, the technology’s capabilities are already well documented, and I am excited to play a role in its future.”

About LIS Technologies Inc.
LIS Technologies Inc. (LIST) is a USA based, proprietary developer of a patented advanced laser technology, making use of infrared wavelengths to selectively excite the molecules of desired isotopes to separate them from other isotopes. The Laser Isotope Separation Technology (L.I.S.T) has a huge range of applications, including being the only USA-origin (and patented) laser uranium enrichment company, and several major advantages over traditional methods such as gas diffusion, centrifuges, and prior art laser enrichment. The LIST proprietary laser-based process is more energy-efficient and has the potential to be deployed with highly competitive capital and operational costs. L.I.S.T is optimized for LEU (Low Enriched Uranium) for existing civilian nuclear power plants, High-Assay LEU (HALEU) for the next generation of Small Modular Reactors (SMR) and Microreactors, the production of stable isotopes for medical and scientific research, and applications in quantum computing manufacturing for semiconductor technologies. The Company employs a world class nuclear technical team working alongside leading nuclear entrepreneurs and industry professionals, possessing strong relationships with government and private nuclear industries.
