The Program: A Pioneering Approach to Clean Energy Development

Kairos Power is a mission-driven company singularly focused on commercializing advanced reactor technology in time to impact climate change. At its Albuquerque campus, Kairos Power is piloting critical capabilities to enable the clean energy transition, including advanced reactor component manufacturing, fuel fabrication R&D, modular reactor construction, and large-scale, non-nuclear testing. The work done in Albuquerque will directly contribute to the Hermes demonstration reactor project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee – the first U.S. non-light-water reactor approved for construction in over 50 years. Learn about Kairos Power’s iterative development approach and how Albuquerque will play a key role in deploying a novel clean energy solution with robust safety at an affordable cost.
