Our Mission
Clean Energy
To make our vision a reality, we are focusing on deploying a fleet of advanced SMRs that deliver clean, reliable energy at scale. Our approach enables multiple pathways for implementation.

Flexible Ownership
Customers can choose to own and operate their SMR facilities, or rely on us to fully manage, staff and operate them.

Seamless Integration
Our SMRs can be incorporated into microgrids to reliably deliver zero-carbon electricity while supplying process heat directly to industrial operations through on-site deployment.

Global Impact
By deploying a worldwide fleet of SMRs, we will deliver sustainable, scalable solutions that support the global transition to clean energy.
“This is an exciting time for our company, and we are fully prepared to move the ZJ reactor project forward with support from public and private partners.”


How We Began


Mitsuo and co-founder Jeffrey Harper, a leader in nuclear innovation and commercialization, have assembled a vanguard team focused on delivering advanced SMR solutions globally. The team includes Kazuhiko Kunitomi, Ph.D., a leading international authority on High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors; Rumina Velshi, a world-class expert on nuclear energy policy, regulation, and innovation; Finis Southworth, Ph.D., a global leader in nuclear R&D, systems science and analysis; and Andrea Veil, formerly a veteran NRC commissioner recognized for successfully leading high-profile projects.
