Forge Atomics

Factory-built water-cooled nuclear reactors

Overview

Forge Atomics builds factory-built, water-cooled nuclear fission reactors to deliver reliable, carbon-free baseload power. Its core product is a 25 MWe reactor named Ember, with a subscale Ember Mini prototype planned before full-scale deployment. The reactors are manufactured in a factory, leveraging mature supply chains and high-rate production, then shipped as modules for site development, construction, installation, integration, commissioning, and reactor operation. The water-cooled design uses long-operating experience and passive safety features to reduce risk and enable safe operation. The company differentiates itself by applying aerospace manufacturing discipline and a factory-based production model to nuclear power, aiming to lower costs and accelerate deployment relative to traditional on-site construction. The goal is to provide scalable, passive-safe, carbon-free baseload energy to improve energy security and reduce environmental impact compared to intermittent renewables.
