3. Our patented, metallic fuel technology
can help global nuclear utilities achieve
improved operating economics through
increased power output and enhanced
reactor safety.
LTBR can realize significant, high-
margin revenue streams from
technology licensing fees and royalties
from a growing $25 billion global
market for nuclear fuel.

22. Lightbridge Near-Term Catalysts
for Nuclear Fuel Business
 Fabricate irradiation fuel samples in 2016
 Secure a letter of interest from a utility by 2016 for lead test
assembly demonstration
 Begin test reactor irradiation of the fuel samples by early 2017
 Enter into a cost-sharing arrangement with an industry partner
and/or government by late 2017-early 2018 to support
deployment of a pilot-scale fabrication facility, fabrication of
lead test assemblies and their operation in a commercial
power reactor
21

23. Path to Commercial Use
1. Execute recently announced collaboration with CNL-Chalk River
Laboratories on fuel sample fabrication
2. Leverage our Nuclear Utility Fuel Advisory Board to secure a letter
of intent from at least one utility for lead test assembly
demonstration
3. Seek cost-sharing government and/or industry partner funding
contributions to support lead test assembly demonstration
