Technology
Novel Use of Proven Materials and Technologies
Proprietary Power Conversion System
Electricity and process heat are produced by a simple and robust system with few moving parts.
TRISO Fuel
The most robust nuclear fuel on earth, capable of operation at >1,300°C and safety tested at 1,800°C.reference
High Temperature Materials
Proven materials with decades of industrial use and nuclear pedigree enable a simple and safe reactor capable of producing heat at temperatures >1,000°C
NuCube Reactor
The NuCube reactor was designed from the ground up using these advanced materials to be simple and passively safe, and economically competitive with natural gas for supply of process heat and electricity. The high operating temperature (>1,000°C) enables a cost competitive conversion of heat to electricity for microgrids and/or supply of process heat to industrial applications that other reactors can’t achieve.
