A Nuclear Innovation Company

Natural Balance

Addressing surging global energy demand and preserving a sustainable future will require a precise balance between renewable and nuclear energy.

Innovating
Response

The Natrium plant is a step forward for nuclear, providing an unprecedented ability to respond to power needs and balance the grid.

A landscape in Wyoming

Our first Natrium plant is currently being built in Wyoming.

Unique Symmetry

The Natrium plant's unique construction and operational approach divides the facility into two independent islands.

Optimized
Process

The Natrium reactor uses liquid metal to transfer heat from the reactor.

The properties of this material enable the system to operate at low pressure and cool naturally - making it simpler and safer than any of today's plants.

Stable Network

While renewable energy is carbon-free, it is sometimes unavailable due to weather conditions.

Our innovative molten salt energy storage fills this energy gap, delivering stable electricity supply for the grid when renewables are offline. Other designs do not have this flexibility.

Clear
Advantage

By moving to a much simpler plant design, the Natrium technology requires far fewer resources to construct and operate. This results in lower costs and higher value.
