Proven Reactor Technology

Research & IP

A broad patent portfolio and an active national-laboratory research program in advanced reactor control, digital twins, and coolant-pump systems.

Patent portfolio

Control technology that spans the reactor landscape.

Our intellectual property covers the two control capabilities that make a reactor truly responsive: variable-speed pump control and digital-twin predictive control. Together they let a reactor change output safely, quickly, and with minimal reliance on control-rod motion.

The portfolio is designed to apply across the major reactor categories — from large existing fleets to the next generation of small, transportable, and fast-spectrum plants. We describe the scope and technical coverage internally; we do not publish the filing table.

Large PWR

Full-scale pressurized water reactors already deployed in national fleets.

SMR

Small modular reactors sized for industrial sites, district heat, and remote grids.

Microreactor

Compact, transportable units for defense, mining, and frontier applications.

Sodium fast reactor

Fast-spectrum systems with inherent passive safety and high fuel utilization.

Digital-twin predictive control

Patents cover the use of a live physics model to compute safe ramp limits, anticipate thermal margins, and guide control decisions many times per second. This is the “brain” that decides what the reactor can do next.

Variable-speed pump control

Patents cover the use of a variable-speed primary-coolant pump to modulate reactor output without the slow, reactivity-disturbing movement of control rods. This is the “lung” that lets the reactor breathe with the load.

National laboratory work

Built alongside the labs that shape the future of nuclear.

We work directly with U.S. national laboratories to stress-test our models, validate hardware performance, and align our control approach with the country’s most advanced reactor research programs.

Project Prometheus

We are a participant in Project Prometheus, a collaboration between Idaho National Laboratory and NVIDIA. The program applies high-performance computing and AI to the modeling and simulation challenges facing advanced reactors, with direct relevance to our digital twin and control systems.

Digital twin & pump collaboration

We are working with Argonne National Laboratory on two core elements of our control architecture: the digital twin that models the reactor in real time, and the variable-speed coolant pump that translates those predictions into physical action.

Research, protected and put to work.

Our IP and lab partnerships are not separate efforts — they feed the same goal: a reactor that can respond to the grid, the site, and the day with speed and confidence.
