$LTBRPress releaseOct 30, 2026, 7:00 AM ETRead the release

Lightbridge received a Notification of Patent Grant from the Korean Ministry of Intellectual Property covering 17 claims for its mixed-grid nuclear fuel assembly design, with registration to follow payment of the fee. The allowed claims are a divisional in the same Korean patent family as the 2022 patent but are broader, covering the mixed-grid pattern itself without requiring a specific grid shape — protection relevant to CANDU-type heavy water reactors as well as light-water designs.
