Innovating Advanced Nuclear Power
Mission: Develop an Innovative, Fully Integrated Single-Cycle Microreactor
Shaping Tomorrow’s Nuclear Technology
The NuGen Engine™: A revolutionary single-cycle microreactor for terrestrial, maritime, and space uses. Called the NuGen Engine™ due to its versatility and simple, robust, compact configuration.
Unique Innovative Design: Fully integrated, single-cycle system with a patented spiral fuel core.
- A single cycle creates a significantly more compact and efficient reactor.
- The integration of the reactor and the energy conversion system and the incorporation of a spiral fuel core result in even more efficiency and compactness.
The entire system, factory-fueled with a 15-year fuel life, is contained in a single transportable module.
- A simpler configuration and fewer and simpler components result in higher manufacturability.
- Also expedite component optimization during design and development. And enhance the system's transportability and ease of siting.
Small gas-cooled reactors are intrinsically safe.
- The NuGen Engine's simple configuration and encapsulated fuel further increase the level of safety.
Broadly deployable for off-grid electricity, high-quality process heat, and cogeneration.
- Uses include remote locations, mining sites, desalination plants, military bases, data centers, mini- and macro-grids, shipping, space power and propulsion, and emergencies.
8 US patents, 3 UK patents, 1CA patent, and 1 AUS patent.
- Other patents pending.
We have been inspired in our design by two of history's revolutionary thinkers:
- “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Albert Einstein
- “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Leonardo da Vinci
