Solstice’s Metropolis Works facility is projected to produce over 10 kilotonnes of uranium hexafluoride in 2026, representing a 20% increase over its planned 2024 capacity. As the only UF6 conversion plant in the U.S., Metropolis Works is critical to domestic nuclear fuel supply and leverages proprietary conversion technology to ensure efficient throughput.

The company’s order backlog has surpassed $2 billion, driven primarily by long-term contracts with domestic utility providers seeking stable UF6 supply. Strong customer demand follows the 2023 restart of the facility and reflects growing nuclear energy commitments tied to carbon-free baseload generation.

Solstice is exploring further debottlenecking initiatives and has engaged a leading engineering, procurement and construction firm for new capacity analyses. These efforts align with U.S. policy goals to quadruple nuclear energy capacity by 2050 and are backed by exploratory partnerships with the Department of Energy and ongoing long-term supply discussions.
