Act aims to accelerate US deployment of new nuclear
05 April 2023
The Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act of 2023, introduced to the US Senate by a bipartisan group, aims to support efforts to develop and deploy new nuclear technologies at home and abroad by measures such as regulatory support for advanced nuclear technology deployment and facilitating the repurposing of conventional energy sites.

Biden-Harris Administration Announces $150 Million To Improve Nuclear Research and Development Infrastructure at Idaho National Laboratory
October 25, 2022
Investments from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act Will Support and Advance Next-Generation Nuclear Fuels and Reactor Technologies Critical to Achieving America’s Climate Goals
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), today announced $150 million in funding provided by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act for infrastructure improvements at DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to enhance nuclear energy research and development. The funding will support nearly a dozen projects at INL’s Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) and Materials Fuels Complex (MFC), both of which have been operational for more than 50 years and serve an instrumental role in advancing nuclear technologies for federal agencies, industry, and international partnerships. Nuclear energy generates nearly a fifth of America’s electricity?and accounting for half of all domestic clean energy generation, making it a critical tool to reaching President Biden’s goal of 100% clean electricity by 2035.

I understand your point completely.
I have been investing in penny stocks for over 50 years. Usually, when I discover that a reverse split is coming I immediately dump my position. The stock nearly always dips following the split, and then I buy it back and achieve a lower cost basis.
But in this case I want to hold for Long Term for a really big gain. So I think I might buy some PUT options to make a few bucks on the down side. Throughout this year I have been selling covered CALL options that have all expired in my favor. So I am used to playing the options and acquiring more shares on the dips.
Of course, the measure might not pass if it does not get the votes. Apparently the insiders do not own enough shares to get it passed on their own. I guess it could go either way.
Actually, I am way more focused on the changing weather patterns, the increasing cost of energy, and the overall worldwide problem, etc. I am less focused on this one stock. In my opinion, Lightbridge is a piece of the larger puzzle, and I think they are very well positioned to be a gigantic success story.
Always do your own Due Diligence.
I would not be owning this stock if I didn't believe Lightbridge is going to be a huge success. And in my opinion it is just a matter of time before the stock breaks out.
So, if they are going to be successful then they are going to need a lot more shares to sustain the growth. I have been trading in this stock for years so I know it well. Up until last year the float was about 4 million shares. Then earlier this year they increased it to about 11 million. And as a result the share price has suffered.
So up to now, in consideration of the potential for growth, the number of outstanding shares has been minuscule. Anything under v$10 a share is considered to be a "penny stock". The future growth scenario I am suggesting is why the number of shares must be increased and soon. Right now is when this should happen.
And what will future growth look like?
The Lightbridge fuel rods are intended to retrofit LWR (Light Water Reactors) and to be used in the future SMR (Small Modular Reactors) that will come to market over the next few years.
Currently, there are about 99 LWR in the US fleet, and 3 under construction. The total world wide fleet is about 359 reactors in current operation. Each one of these reactors is a candidate for use of Lightbridge fuel.
About 3 or 4 years ago Lightbridge put on a audio conference available on the net. The CFO spoke and said that the company would eventually offer the fuel rods on a royalty basis in order to share in the abundant extra profit that the power companies would receive for using these fuel rods. And that each installation would generate about $10 million in royalties per reactor per refueling cycle to Lightbridge. So you can do the math; given the number of LWR worldwide the financial potential for income could be several billion dollars per year.
I am only relating what I heard in the audio conference. I don't recall any of the details, date and names, etc. And I have never seen any written transcript of that conference. And I have no idea if the company has changed plans or scenario of how to benefit from the future sales, etc. But it did give me a lot of "food for thought" and has sustained my investment here for years.
Some who read my post may think that I am deliberately hyping or pumping this stock. All I can say is that I have been a shareholder for a long time. Because you either believe in nuclear energy or you don't. Carbon neutral wind and solar energy are great, but the two together can not possibly meet the growing energy demands of our country, let alone the world. Until fusion energy arrives, in about 30 years, nuclear will be the only viable alternative. And it can be done safely if better designed fuel rods are used.
In conclusion I would like to add that the Lightbridge fuel rods are currently being tested in the National Test Reactor in Idaho. I must assume that at some point the fuel rods will be certified for use in grid connected reactors. All Lightbridge needs is just one sale and the stock will take off. This is total W.A.G. on my part but I am predicting $40/share by the end of 2023. Please do your own due diligence.
SMR company NuScale pivots from development to delivery - 20 June 2022
"NuScale Power has announced it is making a strategic shift from product development to product delivery as commercialisation of its VOYGR small modular reactor (SMR) power plants approaches."
"...a six-unit VOYGR plant which is to be built at a site at Idaho National Laboratory - plus "landmark customer engagements" in Poland and Romania ..."
https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/SMR-company-pivots-from-development-to-delivery
This press release fits nicely with the recent CEO Seth Grae interview. He mentioned that Lightbridge fuel rods will be tested at Idaho National Lab, and that there is increased interest from Eastern Europe nations, etc.
Although no one has actually said so,,, What do you want to bet that the Lightbridge fuel rods will actually be tested in the NuScale Power VOYGR SMRs for early delivery in Idaho, etc.?
All the pieces are falling into place here... I am thinking this will be a $40 share price in 2024, if not sooner.
Lightbridge CEO Seth Grae Scheduled to Appear on the TD Ameritrade Network Today (6/14) at 4:10 PM ET 8:00 AM ET 6/14/22 | GlobeNewswire
RESTON, Va., June 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightbridge Corporation (Nasdaq: LTBR), an advanced nuclear fuel technology company, announced today that its President and CEO Seth Grae is scheduled to appear on the TD Ameritrade Network today at 4:10 PM ET. To watch the appearance, go to: https://tdameritradenetwork.com/.
Mr. Grae will join "Market on Close" hosted by Oliver Renick, the lead anchor at TD Ameritrade Network. Mr. Grae will discuss how nuclear power can help combat rising gas prices and food shortages, and what makes Lightbridge Fuel(TM) an attractive option for the nuclear industry.
With the world-wide trend of energy shortage and the increasing climate problems, it seems to me that this company should get at least one sale of their innovative fuel rods sometime in the near future. Just speculation on my part, connecting the dots. There could be a tremendous upside to the stock price.
A couple of years ago in an investors call it was estimated that Lightbridge would earn up to $10M per reactor upgrade, in a kind of revenue sharing arrangement based on cost saving. The rods are supposed to produce about 30% more power and do it more safely, while lengthening the refueling cycle by a couple of years. The resulting cost saving to the plant owner is about $30M per fuel cycle.
And there are over 100 reactors in the US. So if something breaks to the good then this is going to be a big money maker and grow real fast. At this point all we can do is hope. For me this stock has always been a kind of hidden gem and I have owned it for at least a decade and I still believe in the prospects going forward.
As the old Monty Python saying goes: "Expect the Unexpected".
The patents are worth several times the total capitalization.
So should we all be looking to sell at or near .12 ?
Will you be selling at .12 ?
I have a large position at eTrade where I can only sell, and .12 would give me a very modest profit.
I originally paid about $.34 over a decade ago and saw it run to $1.04 and then collapse to .02 on the phony fraudulent J&J patent suit. I have averaged down and flipped it a few times since then.
Then it started up again on the CV-19 detector news in Feb2020 and ran hard. I had an order in to sell at $.50 and it reached $.49 before it got hammered by the SEC on more phony contrived zhit.
And here we are in the basement AGAIN. This has been a roller coaster for sure. I don't want to miss out on a nice profit, for the 3rd time in a decade.
So tell me, Wise One, What should I do? Sell at $.12 or wait for $1.00 ? DECN has survived all of these years, outlived all legal problems, and my gut tells me that it will end up being a fantastic winner if I hold out a while longer.
I have a smaller position at TDA at .013 where I can still trade in and out. Should I try to flip it until May25?
An hour ago 400K shares were purchased creating a really big spike in volume. PPS went to .03
This may indicate something good is about to happen.
I tried twice to put in a limit order at TDAmeriterade.
Both Orders rejected with error messages "Out Of Range".
Apparently TDA has now decided what price I can sell at. Although they haven't yet told me what the actual price range is. I suppose I should be thankful that TDA is still accepting buy orders.
I thought my sell limit price of $0.075 was entirely reasonable. I know this stock has been heavily shorted so I'm just trying to take advantage of the situation, as was the case with Robin Hood/Gamestop.
This is a perfect example of why I have been transitioning out of the stock market and into the crypto market over the last two years. Fees are 90% less, no middle men, no brokers, no market makers, no short sales, etc. And maximum liquidity for truly portable assets.
Incidentally, I have been a continuous owner of DECN (and prior symbols) since 2004.
I managed to flip my pos twice this week for a grand profit.
It looks like there are a bunch of insider stock options being exercised. Perhaps they're selling to pay their personal bills, etc.
As far as I know their only revenue stream is from consulting. Maybe they got a new lucrative contract.
In one of the conference calls last year the CFO said they would not have any revenue from the fuel rods for 10 years. That is a long time.
Or maybe it's the Reddit crowd playing with this one like they played GameStop this week. Is this one being shorted?
Anyone have any other ideas of what this rally is about? As the general market falls down.
Speak up. Inquiring minds want to know...
Biden wants to extend the START nuclear arms control treaty.
If successful that means that both parties will be taking their nuclear warheads out of service and down-blending them to produce fuel for power plants.
That may keep the price of uranium in a tight range for quite a while.
On balance, nuclear energy is going to be expanded over the next few years because it is cleaner than fossil fuels.
All just my opinion...
Class Action law suits like these are among the biggest legal scams going.
You will find out that the payout is minuscule and the legal fees are astronomically high.
You'll be lucky if you get a penny or two on the dollar.
What does this have to do with Decision Diagnostics?
It looks to be totally off-topic to me.
From the TAAS website:
https://taas.fund/
"We have come to the decision to terminate Token-as-a-Service and distribute assets to token owners, and move over to developing new products and services, which we will be more than happy to present to the Community in due course.
Together with the genuine support of the highly esteemed Community, TaaS is proud to have achieved some outstanding results within just 24 months of operation. TaaS exceeded 16.5 million USDT equivalent in quarterly payouts, with an est. 220% ROI.
Token-as-a-Service instrument fulfilled its objective to play a pioneering role in the development of blockchain ecosystem, increase technology adoption, and develop market tools and knowledge base. During the course of a journey, we supported over 35 early stage projects.
With a goal to maximize utility of every TaaS member involved, we have decided to distribute assets to token owners. We invite you to follow the registration link below for more details."
What we need is a 15-second FDA approval.
I think that is a really great article, from a published science writer who is an AstroPhysist with a PHD
But you're absolutely right, he doesn't mention "HALEU" and a lot of other stuff.
For example, he doesn't mention the 4Th Mass Extinction Event that we are now moving towards in slow motion. It is called Climate Change right now but it will later be referred to in far more ominous terms.
We may have already passed the, so called, "tipping point" where we could actually do something to avoid it. But if we can't avoid killing the entire human race then the whole argument in favor of nuclear energy is very much a moot point.
So Good Luck breathing in the future.
On final point I would like to share... The 3rd Mass Extinction Event, identified in the geologic record, brought about the rise of mammals and eventually the human race. If WE DIE then who (or what) will inherit the world? Will it be insects? Or perhaps an entire new race of Virus' ??
All just my opinion... Be sure to Vote, wear a mask, and keep a safe distance.
Lightbridge has Highest volume day since June 2018
At 6:45 AM I see the Ask and Bid size at ONE Share.
OK, who's the big spender here?
Abbot Labs test must be administered by medical professional.
Definitely NOT an at-home test.
It is a point-of-care test and is supposed to be used in conjunction with the nasal swab test for diagnosis.
You are NOT going to see this test being used at, for example, an airport boarding area or the entrance to an elementary school.
Personally, I am really glad it is now available as it represents major progress.
But the selloff here is more about perception and not reality. The traders have put this stock on a very tight schedule to produce an immediate profit for them OR ELSE.
This is brand new technology coming to market. I still believe this stock is a winner. Time will tell the tale.

Not certifying this life saving product is...
...mass murder on a global scale.
Just my opinion...
Interesting, but the sample still has to go to a lab for results.
The market has been open for exactly 3 hours and we've already traded 962K shares
Volume increase always precedes price increase.
That is traditional market wisdom based on common sense.
The upside potential is fantastic.
Am I "preaching to the choir" ??
Coinbase has a new EARN PROGRAM opportunity for Kyber (KNC)
I got my $6 worth.
If you don't have a Coinbase account please use the following link:
https://www.coinbase.com/join/shaw_4o
...join up and we both collect some free Bitcoin.
Then you can join the EARN program and collect a bunch of other free coins. It is educational and extremely easy. I've done it and I highly recommend it.
This is an excellent place for a crypto novice to start.
Enjoy!
DNN has gone up each of the last 8 sessions in a row.
That looks like a nice positive trend to me.
So why is this forum so silent?
Nuclear Energy is in play again.
Thanks for posting that link. Very interesting news source.
That article sure does read like it is Lightbridge they're referring to.
Who else could it be?
I know that Lightbridge is working toward two types of "fuel assemblies". One for the traditional water cooled reactors of which there are about 100+ currently operating in the USA. And the other is for the new style SMR (Small Modular Reactors). The SMRs are the future of nuclear energy.
For me, that article is very reassuring. With the stock PPS in the cellar over the last few weeks I was fearful we would need, yet another, RS to get the PPS above $5 in order to maintain the market listing. For the moment it looks like that won't be needed.
Good Luck to All Longs.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Perhaps some news forthcoming. It has been awhile.
Shepard Doniger; I just saw the guy on ABC News TV representing Decision Diagnostics.
Big story tonight is the delay in testing. Up to 18 day delay on results so contact tracing is impossible.
Today Trump just gave the OK to ramp up testing IF the medical professionals request it.
Hard to believe that I just saw the name DECISION DIAGNOSTICS plastered across the screen on a major network broadcast.
Look for the testing segment on ABC Network News this PM.
Perhaps Care Decision might want to check out, yet another, potential biz op.
The South Korean government chose blockchain startup Sendsquare to develop a proof-of-concept blockchain registry to help analyze, anonymize and store clinical data for diabetes.

I am sure that clinical data for CV-19 will have to be stored for years to come.
"Nothing that is declared here will have any major effect on share price."
That is true. Share price is affected ONLY by buys and sells.
What is posted here does affect the mindset and opinions of the various investors and onlookers.
So you're complaining that you can't flip your shares in a single day.
Why don't you consider holding them until 2021 and collect $10+ each for your shares?
Thanks for that excellent article.
"...There has been no such application."
I am sure you are aware of the fact that, according to the rules of logic, it is impossible to prove that something does NOT exist.
It is logically un-provable because it is based on a "negative premise".
For example, one might be able to prove that Extra-Terrestrial Beings DO exist. Or maybe NOT be able to prove so.
Both are based on a "positive premise". Even if their existence is never proven they may still exist somewhere. So you can't prove they don't exist, although many claim to do so.
So how would one go about proving that "...no such application" was filed.
The fact that posters keep coming on this forum making continuous illogical and unproven claims is a source of continuous entertainment for me.
There is nothing common about "common sense".
"...there IS short interest in DECN".
Yeah, and there is also substantial LONG interest in DECN
I have been long this stock continuously since 2010.
"...interview sounded so staged and fake...
Right, it was probably done in a fake studio, using fake equipment, going out over unseen radio waves. All fake...
LOL
"...where is the device..."
They're sitting in a warehouse in So. Korea waiting to be shipped worldwide.
No FDA approval is needed to sell everywhere else it is needed.
It is the situation that the USA is the biggest market because we have the most deaths, because... well, we all know why that is.
"...taking so long for FDA ... running out of patience..."
Does the FDA know that you have put them on a schedule?
The least you can do is notify them.
