What we do
Our mission is to enable the world’s transition to clean energy, with the ultimate goal of dramatically improving people’s quality of life while protecting the environment.
Kairos Power is a mission-driven engineering company focused on the delivery of a clean, affordable and safe energy solution through the integrated design, licensing and demonstration of advanced reactor technology.
Company's story
Our Specialty
Competitive
The Kairos Power fluoride salt-cooled high temperature reactor (KP-FHR) is a novel advanced reactor technology that aims to be cost competitive with natural gas in the U.S. electricity market and to provide a long-term reduction in cost.
Reliable
This technology builds on a history of proven advanced reactor designs, from coated particle fuel to liquid fluoride salt coolants to low-pressure pool vessels. Its advanced reactor technology is designed for high availability and performance with low maintenance and lifecycle costs, providing dispatchable power that improves grid resiliency and security.
Responsible
The KP-FHR offers clean and sustainable energy, with a near zero carbon footprint and low potential water consumption. In combination with variable renewables, this technology can create a path to a truly clean energy system. Its robust, accident resistant fuel and low-pressure coolant create an inherently safe design. This means no operator intervention is required to keep the plant in a safe state.
The Kairos Power FHR (KP-FHR) is a novel advanced reactor technology that leverages TRISO fuel in pebble form combined with a low-pressure fluoride salt coolant. The technology uses an efficient and flexible steam cycle to convert heat from fission into electricity and to complement renewable energy sources.

Our story
Kairos Power and its Vision
Growing from a broad research effort at U.S. universities and national laboratories, Kairos Power was founded to accelerate the development of an innovative nuclear technology that has the potential to transform the energy landscape in the United States and internationally.
Kairos Power is focused on reducing technical risk through a novel approach to test iteration often lacking in the nuclear space. Our schedule is driven by the goal of a U.S. demonstration plant before 2030 and a rapid deployment thereafter. The challenge is great, but so too is the opportunity.
kai∙ros (def.): the right or opportune moment
Kairos is an ancient Greek word that relates the importance of timeliness and a call to action. Today, Kairos Power exists to accelerate innovation in nuclear power and enable affordable access to clean energy.
