Steil Announces Loan Funding for Janesville-Based SHINE

Janesville, WI - Today, Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01), announced that the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing will award SHINE Chrysalis, LLC in Janesville, WI a $263 million loan to support the construction of a new medical manufacturing facility in Janesville. The facility will use fusion and fission technology to provide a secure domestic supply of Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), a medical isotope used in life-saving diagnostic imaging. Once completed, this will be the largest such facility in the world. 

In May and September of 2025, Steil wrote to DOE Secretary Chris Wright regarding SHINE’s innovative work on Mo-99 and the importance of the Chrysalis project.  He emphasized the need for strong public-private partnerships in building domestic manufacturing.

Following the announcement, Steil released the following statement:

“American supply chains ensure healthcare workers and patients have access to the lifesaving tools they need to identify and fight diseases like cancer and heart disease. This critical work to save lives will now be done right here in Janesville," said Steil. "Thank you, Secretary Wright and the Department of Energy for investing in Wisconsin and congratulations to SHINE on receiving this loan."
