Blue Energy

Mass-producing light-water reactors for electricity

Overview

Blue Energy designs and manufactures nuclear power plants using mature light water reactor technology with passive safety features to create “walk away safe” reactors. The approach centers on mass production: reactors are manufactured in shipyards by a permanent workforce with automated machinery, enabling lower costs and shorter build times. The reactor and safety systems are modularized and isolated from other plant systems so manufacturing can occur in non-nuclear shipyards, allowing global scale deployment. Revenue comes from selling and deploying these turnkey power plants for developed and emerging markets, with the goal of providing reliable, clean, and affordable electricity at scale. The company focuses on scaling nuclear power within the decade by combining proven LWR technology with modern safety enhancements and a manufacturing-driven business model to reduce cost and enable rapid deployment.
