Overview

500 MW Power Purchase Deal

Landmark Agreement with Google

Signed a major power-purchase agreement with Google to deliver scalable energy from small modular reactors by the early 2030s.

2024 Milestone

First-of-Its-Kind Permit

Received the first NRC permit in decades for a non-water-cooled nuclear system, marking a historic breakthrough.

Revolutionizing nuclear energy with molten-salt reactors since 2016.
Headquartered in Alameda, CA, with R&D hubs from Tennessee to New Mexico, integrating research and manufacturing.
Pioneers in fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactors (KP-FHR), using TRISO fuel for enhanced safety in low-pressure operations.
Planning factories for salt coolant and TRISO fuel, expanding testbeds in New Mexico to advance their vertically integrated strategy.
Aiming to supply both commercial and research campuses, driving a new era of nuclear deployment.
Modular approach targets cost-predictable, factory-built reactors to support AI centers, strengthen power grids, and decarbonize energy.

Culture + Values

Safety is our highest priority.
We value curiosity and encourage continuous learning.
We are a team of dedicated and motivated individuals working towards a shared mission.
We foster an environment of accountability and transparency.
We emphasize innovation and creative problem-solving.

Environment + Sustainability

2040

Net-Zero Target Year

Committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions through innovative nuclear power solutions.

Create clean, reliable, and affordable nuclear power to address the climate crisis.
Make nuclear energy a viable solution for decarbonizing electricity generation.
Reduce waste and improve safety and efficiency with advanced reactor designs.
Commit to reducing environmental impact through cutting-edge technology.

Inclusion & Diversity

People of all backgrounds can thrive and contribute in this inclusive environment.
Various perspectives are valued and encouraged to ensure diverse participation.
