General Matter, a company that is planning to build uranium enrichment facilities in the United States, has leased "a 100-acre parcel of federal land at the former Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant" from the Department of Energy. In addition to the land, "the lease provides General Matter with a minimum of 7,600 cylinders of existing uranium hexafluoride."

General Matter is one one the four companies selected by the Department of Energy to work on HALEU enrichment in October 2024.
