New York, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LIS Technologies Inc., a proprietary developer of advanced laser technology and the only USA-origin and patented laser uranium enrichment company, today announced that it has appointed Keith Everly as its Head of Security and IP Management.
Mr. Everly served as Senior Program Manager for Licensee Security and was the lead inspector for the protection of classified matter at all uranium enrichment plants regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In this role, he managed the agency’s program that granted NRC licensees access to classified information.
“Throughout my career, I have focused on aligning applicants with regulatory frameworks to streamline the process and ensure regulatory compliance for innovative advancements in the nuclear industry,” said Keith Everly, Head of Security and IP Management of LIS Technologies Inc. “With regulatory processes set to be modernized and optimized to meet today’s needs, I am excited to bring my expertise to LIST to help drive the revival of its proprietary, patented laser enrichment technology. Having been demonstrated on United States soil and designated with a Technology Readiness Level of 4, the technology’s capabilities are already well documented, and I am excited to play a role in its future.”
With over 38 years of prior expertise in both information and physical security programs for protecting classified and sensitive information, Mr. Everly possesses extensive knowledge of classified uranium enrichment processes, including American Centrifuge technology, Laser Enrichment technology, and European Centrifuge technology. His experience has been instrumental in supporting NRC licensees and applicants navigating the NRC Facility Security Clearance Process to access classified matter.
“I’m thrilled to have Mr. Everly’s support in navigating the complex regulatory, security, and licensing processes of the U.S. government,” said Christo Liebenberg, CEO of LIS Technologies Inc. “He is a seasoned and highly respected expert in security licensing, with a proven history of assisting licensees and applicants in the uranium enrichment space. His extensive network and deep understanding of the intricacies surrounding Sensitive Nuclear Technologies (SNT) such as the CRISLA laser enrichment process, along with his expertise in working with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, will be instrumental to the company.”
