Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Emission free, always on power from advanced fission power plants.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building small modular nuclear reactors that run on advanced fission technology to provide emission-free, always-on, affordable power. Our plants use novel fuel designs and recycling to make nuclear energy smaller, safer, and quicker to deploy than traditional large reactors.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live and work in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, California. After YC, the company would remain based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Silicon Valley because that's where we found engineering talent who understand complex systems and because the proximity to national labs and DOE collaborations supports our work.
