- INIS CEO Steve Laflin and Lea County Commissioner Greg Fulfer sign the closing documents for the transfer of the 640 acre site for the proposed depleted uranium de-conversion facility from Lea County to INIS on August 24, 2011.

In 2009 INIS acquired an idled UF6 to UF4 de-conversion plant and in July 2011 INIS has begun to recondition some of this equipment and stage it for future use in the new de-conversion facility in Lea County New Mexico. This photo is of the first autoclave unit being removed from the facility for future use.
