Factories

Serial Manufacturing of Fuel and Reactors

Nuclear Battery Factories

The MMR Assembly Plant (MAP) uses modularization and standardization to assemble and test components and accelerate MMR deployments.

Fuel Factories

The Fuel Factory will utilize uranium enriched to less than 10% from Urenco USA to fabricate Ultra Safe Nuclear's proprietary TRISO/FCM Fuel through a joint venture with Framatome.

NUCLEAR BATTERY FACTORY

10 UNITS / YEAR

The MMR Assembly Plant (MAP) will assemble and test the nuclear plant modules needed to supply up to 10 MMR units per year. MAP is an advanced industrial facility with no nuclear materials used or stored on site.

NUCLEAR FUEL FACTORY

20 METRIC TONS / YEAR

USNC is refining different fuel fabrication processes to de-risk deployment at scale for new production equipment at the Fuel Factory. Commercial capacity will fully support MMR Battery deployments.

Factory
TRISO Particles

TRISO particle fuel is slated for use in many advanced reactors. With recent fuel deliveries, USNC leads TRISO manufacturing in the Western world.

Factory
FCM Fuel

FCM fuel produced in our factories can be used for a wide range of advanced reactors including gas-cooled, molten-salt, and even heat pipe reactors.

Factory
Graphite Blocks

Graphite moderator blocks are loaded with FCM fuel and stacked together to form the core of the reactor. Graphite also serves as a core reflector.

Factory
Hydride Mods

Hydride moderators improve fuel burnup and reduce core and reactor size. USNC makes both proprietary canned hydrides and composite moderators.
