Technology selection is guided by safety, licensing, fuel availability, manufacturing capability, and commercial performance. Our aim is the fastest credible route to market for each application, with newer technologies considered as their readiness is demonstrated.

Energy
Power for industry and infrastructure

CORE POWER’s Energy systems will deliver continuous nuclear power for industrial and coastal applications. Designed for deployment where consistent, high-density power is required.

For nearer-term FNPPs, we are assessing Gen III+ pressurized-water technology, including BWXT’s mPower design. Our feasibility work with BWXT examines how the reactor could be integrated into a complete FNPP, considering maritime engineering, operating requirements, regulatory pathways, and commercial viability.

Power output

Up to 350 MWe (subject to the feasibility assessment and final configuration)

Reactor type

Gen III+

Gen III+

Propulsion
Nuclear-powered ship propulsion

CORE POWER’s Propulsion systems will bring nuclear power to commercial vessels. Designed for long-duration operation and consistent performance across global routes.

Our engineering brings nuclear and marine systems together around each vessel’s power needs and operating profile. Port access, crew qualification, maintenance, and lifecycle support inform the design from the outset.

MCRE is intended to generate experimental data relevant to advanced molten-chloride reactor systems. Its findings will help benchmark the technology and enable model validation during any future development, which would require further engineering, testing, licensing, and commercial demonstration.
