Pioneering a cleaner, safer, more reliable, and more affordable uranium conversion process through advanced chemical engineering.
Explore Methodology arrow_forwardOur 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 building the first new Western greenfield uranium conversion facility in decades.

Lifecycle Visualization
A modern uranium conversion methodology emphasizing rigorous engineering discipline and absolute purity.
Raw yellowcake (U3O8) undergoes chemical analysis upon receipt, verified against ASTM C1344 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 desublimed into solid form inside industry-standard 48Y cylinders, compliant with ANSI N14.1 and DOT 7A Type A packaging requirements for transport to enrichment facilities.
Torch will be sited at a U.S. location selected for its nuclear infrastructure, skilled workforce, and regulatory environment. We are in active discussions with multiple states competing to host the facility, which will be fully licensed and permitted under the applicable federal and state frameworks for nuclear materials processing.
Our selected site will offer proximity to nuclear infrastructure, an experienced workforce, and established regulatory frameworks for nuclear materials handling.
Raven-Flint HQ — in Idaho Falls — is a separate facility housing the Match demonstration unit 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.
