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.
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.
ENERGY ISLAND
NUCLEAR ISLAND
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.
005
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.
