Bluecore Energy builds compact, zero-emission small modular nuclear reactors on floating barges. Its aim is to provide clean power to ports and nearby infrastructure. The barges can be moved by ship to next location, reducing the emission involved in its transport to zero. The system is water-cooled in a closed-loop - it only needs to be refueled once every few years. The goal is to try to power the “equivalent of approximately 15,000 homes or scale to meet the power needs of a major port. The startup is building many layers of safety, like having the uranium clad and protected in a thick steel pressure vessel and then padded with concrete shielding and steel lining.
