Inherently Safe Natural Circulation Water-cooled Nuclear Reactor
Our reactor produces 24/7 clean electricity to power small power grids and is scalable to deliver power to larger developed power grids. Our LPWR can also directly power communities or be coupled to factories and fabrication plants.
Nuclear energy is:
The Low-Pressure Water Reactor (LPWR) is a 300 MWe Small Modular Reactor (SMR)
Our design relies on the use of readily available nuclear fuels, off-the-shelf components and proven materials.
Density-driven natural circulation, the flashing of steam, gravity and stored energy in springs are examples of natural forces that are always available and reliable.
With modular design and plant simplification, our reactor design offers scalability and affordability for quick construction and widespread adoption.
Traditionally, all thermal power plants (not just nuclear) aim to provide the highest energy efficiency by extracting the maximum energy from the fuel to produce a unit of electricity.
Our argument is that energy efficiency only matters if your cost of fuel is expensive. When your fuel is abundant, it makes little sense to increase capital cost for unnecessary technologies that improve thermal efficiency - which is efficiency that is bounded by a saturating exponential curve.
A low pressure system only suffers a slight efficiency penalty but the engineering requirements become much less complex. The result is a safer and more robust system - with a tremendous reduction in cost.
The barrier of entry is reduced, and the benefits become more accessible.
Our vision is to have our reactor design included into the textbook classification of water reactors as we penetrate the global market to provide safe, clean and affordable energy to everyone.
