Understanding nUkler™
A small, factory-built modular system designed for deployment at significantly smaller scales
Is this a traditional nuclear power plant?
No. nUkler™ is a small, factory-built modular system designed for deployment at significantly smaller scales than conventional plants.
How is safety ensured?
Safety is based on passive physical principles, not active systems or operator intervention. The reactor naturally limits temperature and reaction rates.
What fuel technology is used?
The system uses industry-standard TRISO fuel, where each fuel particle is independently sealed within multiple protective layers.
Is on-site refueling required?
No. The system is designed as a sealed, long-life unit with centralized handling at licensed facilities.
What happens during loss of power or emergencies?
The system passively removes heat without external power, pumps, or operator action.
How is security addressed?
Physical shielding is combined with chip-level cybersecurity, secure telemetry, and tamper-resistant monitoring.
How does this fit within existing regulatory frameworks?
The design aligns with emerging small modular and microreactor licensing pathways and supports staged regulatory engagement.
