About the Company

General Matter is enriching uranium in America. Our goal is to design, build, and operate the world's lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States. Our mission is to restore America's ability to produce nuclear fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors.
