LEU is the cleanest direct public enrichment and HALEU exposure, CCJ is the scaled conversion and fuel-services platform, BWXT is the fuel-adjacent nuclear manufacturing and fabrication route, ASPI is a speculative chartable tail, and Silex/GLE is an off-grid watch row because local market-data coverage is missing."
