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.
