New company throws hat into uranium conversion ring
Officially launched at CERAWeek 2026, held last week in Houston, Texas, FluxPoint Energy has unveiled plans to develop what it expects to be the first new U.S. uranium conversion facility in more than 70 years, a move aimed at strengthening America’s nuclear fuel supply chain.
The Houston- and McLean, Va.–based company plans to convert uranium oxide into uranium hexafluoride (UF₆), a critical intermediate step in producing fuel for the nation’s existing nuclear reactors as well as next-generation technologies under development.

The diffusion parameters of diphenyl at 24, 85, and 105°C were investigated using a pulsed-neutron source. Particular emphasis was placed on reducing the effect of room-return background, a major source of error in experiments of this type. The data were analyzed by the usual three-parameter fit and in terms of the thermalization time constant. The results are in good agreement with a theoretical calculation and measurements using differential techniques but do not show a discontinuity of D0 vs T in going from the solid to the liquid phase.
