Roadmap to Full Power
2025
In 2025, we accomplished critical design and safety milestones including our Conceptual Design Review (CDR) and Nuclear Safety Design Agreement (NDSA). We also made significant strides in our hardware development, opening our 145,000 sq-ft facility in Torrance, CA to accelerate in-house manufacturing. We tested our first Electrically-Heated Demonstration Unit (EDU), began preparing our test facility, and initiated fabrication of our TRISO fuel that will support multiple reactor demonstrations.
2026
In 2026, we will conduct our first reactor demonstration under the Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program which will validate our controls behavior, reactor physics properties, and safety features. We will complete our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA), along with finishing qualification campaigns for a majority of our subsystems including the core, heat exchanger, and power conversion system.
2027
In 2027, we will manufacture, assemble, and turn on a full-power, electricity-producing advanced reactor on American soil. We will have completed all remaining design, operations, and safety reviews in partnership with Idaho National Laboratory, Department of Energy, and others. We will evaluate our reactor performance and validate our system design ahead of producing additional demonstration and customer units in 2028 and beyond.
