PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AMPERA today announced a strategic partnership project with the U.S. Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration national laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, to further the development of scalable, advanced nuclear fuel for use in advanced nuclear energy systems, including compact and subcritical reactor platforms.
The goal is to enable resilient, cost-effective and sustainable manufacturing of advanced Tri-Structural Isotropic (TRISO) fuel, accelerating AMPERA's strategy to establish a scalable and secure domestic advanced nuclear fuel supply chain. This collaboration will leverage the joint expertise, equipment, software and resources to develop, characterize and optimize processes for advanced nuclear fuel.
"Public-private projects like this show the value of connecting LLNL's world-class research capabilities with industry partners who have a clear technology need and sharp commercial focus," said Dr. Viktor Sukhotskiy, Research Engineer and Principal Investigator, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. "Working with AMPERA gives us the opportunity to apply joint expertise to a challenging nuclear fuel problem, while also continuing to mature liquid metal jetting as an advanced manufacturing technology. That combination, balanced with scientific progress, technology transition and national security relevance, is what makes the collaboration so exciting."
The collaboration will evaluate and optimize liquid-metal-jetting technology to produce highly uniform, spherical thorium-232 kernels for TRISO fuel. The project builds on previous research led by Sukhotskiy and his team where a new particle production prototype was built using droplet-based liquid-metal-jetting technology. The work includes computational modeling, materials and nozzle compatibility testing, high-temperature process development, particle characterization, safe radiological handling, and transfer of scalable process and design rules to support future commercialization.
AMPERA's advanced fuel platform is built on proprietary processes protected by trade secrets and a growing intellectual property portfolio. This includes more than 60 patents covering proprietary liquid-metal-jetting technology, together with additional patent filings specifically directed toward advanced TRISO fuel manufacturing processes and technologies. In June, AMPERA announced its advanced fuel strategy to support the development of a secure thorium fuel supply chain and future advanced fuel production capabilities.
"Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has a long and distinguished record of translating advanced science into technologies of national importance," said AMPERA Founder and CEO Brian Matthews. "Developing a scalable domestic capability to manufacture advanced nuclear fuel is fundamental to AMPERA's strategy. We believe this collaboration can accelerate the technical foundation required to vertically integrate our fuel supply, reduce cost and supply-chain risk, and support the deployment of our compact subcritical nuclear energy systems."
AMPERA believes advanced fuel cycles, combined with advanced manufacturing and next-generation neutron technologies, can play an important role in enabling a new generation of compact, scalable nuclear energy systems. The collaboration supports AMPERA's long-term strategy to develop advanced fuel for its solid-state, subcritical nuclear energy platform, designed to provide compact, factory-built power systems with up to 30 years of operation without refueling.
AMPERA is developing a subcritical micronuclear reactor platform designed to deliver safe, reliable and energy-dense power for data centers, defense, industrial and maritime applications. Unlike conventional reactors, subcritical systems rely on an external neutron source to initiate and sustain operation, creating an additional layer of operational control while enabling innovative fuel-cycle approaches.
On July 1, AMPERA unveiled what it believes to be the first full-scale, additively manufactured demonstration module of its nuclear core architecture. The spherical, monolithic gyroid structure was 3D printed in silicon carbide and represents the architecture being developed to support up to 30 years of operation without refueling.

AMPERA AND LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FOR ADVANCED NUCLEAR FUEL DEVELOPMENT
The integration combines Glean's enterprise AI platform and enterprise data with Seclore ARMOR's Data Security Intelligence layer - giving regulated organizations context-aware sensitivity classification and the remediation controls to act on it.
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Seclore, the enterprise Data Security Intelligence company, today announced an integration between ARMOR DSPM and Glean, the leading enterprise AI platform. ARMOR DSPM uses Glean's contextual data as the foundation for sensitivity classification, gives customers a unified remediation toolkit to act on what's identified, and writes labels directly onto source files where they persist and remain readable by Glean. For Glean customers in financial services, healthcare, legal services, and government, the integration builds on Glean's secure foundation with a faster path to AI-ready data identification and control across their full estate.
Context-Aware: Classification That Reflects How the Enterprise Actually Uses Data
Glean's Enterprise Graph indexes data across every system an organization uses, mapping how content, people, and work connect. ARMOR DSPM works with the document content and metadata, using them as the input to its classification engine and assigning sensitivity, information type, and exposure risk based on what each file actually contains. The same classification context drives mapping to GDPR, HIPAA, India's DPDP Act, and other regulatory frameworks. Glean customers get classification that operates across the same breadth of data Glean has already indexed — not a parallel discovery process on a subset of systems.
Actionable: Remediation and Posture Management Built In
Identification is the start, not the end. Once ARMOR DSPM has classified sensitive data, customers act on it through ARMOR's remediation toolkit: including natively integrated EDRM for persistent, file-level encryption and usage controls that travel with the file across users, systems, and external recipients; access control that adjusts who can open, share, or modify data based on sensitivity and context. For Glean customers, content surfaced through Glean's secure, permissions-aware platform can remain governed by that same persistent control framework.
Persistent: Labels That Travel With the Data
ARMOR DSPM writes classifications directly onto source files. Labels persist with the file independently of any platform: holding across indexing cycles, following the data between systems, and remaining intact whether the file is opened in its source application or surfaced through Glean. Because the label lives in the file itself, any system that reads the file sees the same classification.
What This Means for Glean Customers in Regulated Industries
For Glean customers in financial services, healthcare, legal services, and government, the integration helps organizations move faster with AI while maintaining the controls regulated environments require.
Accelerated classification at enterprise breadth. ARMOR DSPM uses Glean's indexed data to bootstrap sensitivity classification across the systems Glean already covers, shortening time-to-coverage. ARMOR connectors are deployed where remediation actions are required.
Identification connects directly to action. Classification, posture management and EDRM-based protection operate as one control model - sensitive data isn't just discovered, it's protected.
Compliance proof at enterprise breadth. Continuous mapping to applicable regulatory frameworks gives customers a defensible posture across the same breadth Glean has established.
"Glean has built the industry's most comprehensive enterprise AI platform, and the enterprise context graph at its core indexes data across every system the enterprise relies on. With ARMOR, Glean customers get sensitivity classification across that same breadth, EDRM-based protection that travels with the file, and a defensible compliance posture that holds up across regulators. For regulated industries, that means a faster path from identification to control," said Dr. Vishal Gauri, CEO, Seclore.
"Regulated industries want to move faster with AI, but they also need confidence in how sensitive information is handled. By combining Glean's enterprise context layer with Seclore ARMOR, customers can identify important data with more context, connect those insights to the right controls, and bring AI into more regulated workflows with greater confidence. It's a strong example of how Glean's ecosystem helps customers bring trusted AI into more regulated, high-value workflows," said Zubin Irani, VP of Partnerships, Glean.
Availability
The integration is available now for organizations running ARMOR DSPM and Glean.
