Pioneering a cleaner, safer, more reliable, and more affordable uranium conversion process through advanced chemical engineering.
Explore MethodologyOur novel synthesis route delivers a significant reduction in plant electrical demand, redefining the economics of nuclear fuel conversion.
Our novel synthesis route produces specification-grade UF₆ with zero elemental fluorine. Behind it is a team that has led first-of-a-kind work at Idaho National Laboratory and the National Reactor Innovation Center — now engineering a new Western greenfield uranium conversion facility.

From Concentrate to Product
A modern uranium conversion methodology emphasizing rigorous engineering discipline and absolute purity.
Raw yellowcake (U3O8) undergoes chemical analysis upon receipt, verified against ASTM C967 impurity limits. Feed material is characterized for moisture, particle size, and trace contaminants before entering the conversion process.
Our novel synthesis route eliminates elemental fluorine entirely — removing the most hazardous and capital-intensive chemical from the decades-old legacy process. Engineering analysis projects:
Product UF₆ is captured as a solid: in the coil at our bench today, and at Torch in industry-standard 48Y cylinders, packaged to ANSI N14.1 and shipped under 49 CFR 173.420 to enrichment facilities.
Three stops on the way to UF6, in hand, at our Idaho Falls laboratory.
Torch will be located at Idaho National Laboratory. Raven-Flint was selected in August 2026 for the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy Launch Pad, administered by the National Reactor Innovation Center, which sites privately financed nuclear projects on laboratory land — near the Central Facilities Area.
The nation’s lead nuclear energy laboratory: established frameworks for nuclear materials handling, laboratory utilities and staff, and an experienced regional workforce — alongside the technical and deployment support the Launch Pad program provides.
Raven-Flint HQ — in Idaho Falls — is a separate facility housing Match, our bench-scale tier, and core engineering operations.
Raven-Flint has developed a novel synthesis route to produce specification-grade UF₆ that breaks from the 1940s-era legacy process — eliminating elemental fluorine (F₂) from the entire conversion chain. The Torch pilot plant translates that chemistry into a fully engineered facility: ASME-code vessels and piping, a complete preliminary HAZOP, and full nuclear material accountability.

Located in Idaho Falls, our HQ houses a world-class radiochemistry laboratory — with analytical instrumentation and in-house fabrication — alongside the Match bench-scale unit now proving the conversion pathway. It is distinct and geographically separate from the planned Torch pilot plant.
