The check for $6.2 million purchased K-1580, a 37,803-square-foot, three-story, newly renovated facility at 150 Americus Way on the historic K-25 Enrichment Site of East Tennessee's Technology Park Heritage Center in Oak Ridge, best known as the birth place of the Manhattan Project. It sits next to LIST's leased K-1330 test-demonstration hall and complements the 206-acre "LIST Island" parcel where the company plans a $1.4 billion commercial laser-enrichment plant.

Jay Yu, Executive Chairman and CEO of LIST as well as Founder and Chairman of the publicly traded Nano Nuclear Energy, called Oak Ridge "the Silicon Valley of Nuclear." For once the geography matches the org chart.
