About

We will provide hardware and services for reliable energy anywhere – on Earth and in Space. Developed since 2015, MMR is now becoming reality – the first in a family of hardware and service products for reliable energy anywhere. We are further utilizing our design, licensing, and technology capabilities, such as ceramic additive manufacturing and proprietary sintering techniques, to develop nuclear power systems for advanced applications on earth and in space. These include Transportable Power Units, Nuclear Thermal Propulsion and Lunar Surface Power systems.

Ultra Safe Nuclear is a 100+ employee technology company, well balanced between design, licensing, manufacture and project development, with a mix of young and senior engineers, material scientists and businesspeople, and a well-established network of suppliers and high-quality partnerships. We have a “best in business” workforce that is highly motivated, well tested and demonstrably capable of meeting tough development and commercial milestones. We are able to recruit competitively in all areas of operations in multiple countries.

Ultra Safe Nuclear operates through three divisions – POWER, CORE, and TECH.

Ready to Build. USNC Power is developing commercial-grade, zero-carbon, zero-risk Energy Systems for power and heat utilization - on or off-grid.  

Safety Matters. USNC Core develops materials and fuels designed and manufactured at scale.

No Limits. USNC Tech develops advanced systems and technology targeting space applications for commercial and government customers.
