NuWorld links modern manufacturing methods to advanced reactor technology. We solve a critical problem facing the future of clean energy. Our innovative solution accelerates the deployment of advanced nuclear reactors by an order of magnitude, cutting the costs by half. Our assembly-line solution for the next generation of nuclear power enables a new economic platform for development in the United States and around the world.

Condor

Sasan Hakimzadeh, Mitchell Negus, Adria Peterkin, Shirly Spath, Efstathios Vlassopoulos

Across the country, used nuclear fuel sits in casks waiting for relocation to a final repository. Now, instead of moving the casks to a repository, our services come to you. We are introducing a quick and safe way to convert used fuel into economic commodities onsite – commercial isotopes and energy products.

Atomic Analysis

Ari Krause, McKinleigh McCabe, Courtney McLean, Katie Mummah

Commercial nuclear power plants rely on operating experience to ensure efficient operations and provide reliable power to the grid. Current information sharing is dispersed, limited, and labor-intensive. Atomic Analytics will provide streamlined information processing and advanced data analytics that allow plants to effectively manage resources and maintain dependable electricity production.

ATHENA

Jonathan Gjemso, Vivek Maradia, Nkiruka Menankiti

We are aiming to support the regulatory bodies of developing countries in modernizing its management of the life cycle of radiation sources and enhancing long-term safety, safeguards, and security, through the development of an integrated RFID tracking system.

New Clear Ideas

Logan Smith, Xiaojun Zhang

Our service aims to provide an information service to educate the public about nuclear technology and how it works, dispelling myths and promoting the benefits of clean, nuclear energy to developing and established notions.

CARGATOMIC

Cliff Ghiglieri, Calvin Parkin, Monica Rodriguez, Mitchell Sinclair, Pavel Velkovski

Cargatomic is looking to implement the NuScale Power Module™ on merchant cargo vessels. Initial market penetration will focus on replacing the diesel engines on the Maersk Triple E class containment vessels with a direct drive propulsion system turned by the turbine of the secondary loop of the reactor. The 160 MWt reactor would produce the fastest, cleanest, most reliable ships with reduced fueling costs and times, and allow electricity to be sold to in port.
