General

Global Laser Enrichment is a subsidiary of GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy.

To enhance our ability to better serve our nuclear energy customers through expanded nuclear fuel services, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) is developing laser-based uranium enrichment services capability through its subsidiary Global Laser Enrichment (GLE). As the nuclear energy industry expands globally and the demand for enriched uranium increases, GLE is planning a consistent and secure domestic source of low enriched uranium for commercial use in nuclear power plants. GLE would provide additional supply of low enriched uranium for the nuclear power fuel cycle and additional security of supply for U.S. utilities as well as diversity of supply to the global marketplace.

GLE has exclusive rights to commercially develop the Silex laser isotope separation process technology under an agreement reached with Silex Systems Limited of Australia in early 2006. This is game changing, third-generation, laser isotope separation technology that enables the separation of uranium through the excitation of uranium isotopes utilizing specialized technology.

LEU (low enriched uranium) is used to make fuel pellets that are placed into fuel bundles and then used by nuclear utilities to generate power in their nuclear power plants.

The GLE process technology for laser enrichment of uranium involves classified and controlled information. Access to this information requires a true "need to know" and an active NRC Q clearance (or equivalent DOE Q or DOD TS/SSBI clearance). United States citizenship is required for GLE personnel due to regulatory requirements for this technology.

GE is an equal opportunity employer, offering a great work environment, challenging career opportunities, professional training and competitive compensation.
