Nuclear Turbines is delivering advanced nuclear generation for markets where the cost of electricity is a growth constraint.

Technology

A compact reactor designed around mature gas turbine technology

Nuclear Turbines is the product of first principles thinking and the singular goal of delivering the lowest possible cost nuclear power.

Instead of designing a reactor first and solving the power-conversion problem later, Nuclear Turbines starts with the system that actually generates electricity.

Designed to power a commercial gas turbine, the reactor directly heats compressed air before returning it to the turbine at high temperature to generate electricity.

THE new foundation for low-cost
electricity

Built on breakthrough nuclear engineering, the Nuclear Turbines system unlocks superior economics at a truly modular scale through efficiency and design simplicity.

Proven components. One critical breakthrough.

Built for cost

Every technical decision made with cost structure in mind.

True modularity

Reduced size and complexity of the overall system.

Off-the-shelf where possible

Use mature technology where the market has already solved the problem.

Novel where necessary

Focussed innovation on the reactor to unlock direct air heating. (Breakthrough)

APPLICATIONS

The future of nuclear must be cheaper

Power demand is no longer background infrastructure. Artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and strategic industry are forcing us to rethink energy generation, how quickly it can be deployed, and what it costs.

DATA CENTRES

Speed to power for high-demand computing infrastructure

Speed to power is the single most important consideration for hyperscalers and their colocation partners. The Nuclear Turbines design enables rapid deployment at customer sites.

Industrial Energy

Restoring competitiveness to energy-intensive industries

Low cost and reliable sources of electricity and heat are essential for reindustrialisation and stimulating economic growth.

Hybrid Grid Connection

Alleviating near-term grid constraints

Power plants that can scale in a truly modular way, with economics viable for behind-the-meter, microgrid, and hybrid grid deployments.

Energy Resilience

Reliable, safe, and robust energy infrastructure with long term strategic value

Passively safe reactor design with inherently robust fuel form and reliability baked in to the long-term operational model.

BRITISH ENGINEERING FOR THE GLOBAL POWER MARKET

Nuclear Turbines draws on decades of British engineering excellence and nuclear heritage with a clear commercial thesis: the next generation of nuclear must be simpler, smaller, and more affordable.

Spun out from Europe’s largest aerospace and defence company:

Built by nuclear engineers.
Focused on power economics.

Nuclear Turbines is founded by engineers with deep experience in advanced reactor design and nuclear power systems.

The company is addressing one of the world’s most important infrastructure challenges: clean, affordable, and scalable power.
