CORE POWER – Who are we?

CORE POWER was founded in 2018 to solve the world's energy challenge by bringing next-generation nuclear energy to new markets on mass-assembled floating nuclear power plants. Our 'maritime first' strategy creates a rapid path to full technology maturity, which minimizes the cost of nuclear energy by replacing economies of scale with economies of numbers. We will earn and maintain public trust by implementing standards and behaviours that establish the highest levels of safety, quality, and integrity.
