Nuclear Electric Power Generation
Developer of the FLEX reactor: a nuclear reactor that can meet the global demand for clean, low-cost, flexible energy.
About us
We are a UK team of scientists and engineers, focused on the dual challenges of climate change – clean energy at affordable cost. We have designed a very simple nuclear reactor: it uses a fission reaction to produce heat at high temperatures. Our approach is to use the natural properties of the materials, tuning the chemistry and physics so that the reaction happens simply and safely. This isn’t complex engineering and sophisticated systems, it’s about simple, natural solutions. The elegant appliance of science means that our device uses standard materials, has no moving parts and is inherently safe. It is easy to construct, install and operate, leading to low costs – lower than coal, oil or gas. The heat: makes electricity; replaces fossil fuels in industries needing high temperatures; and produces hydrogen to replace gas or as the feedstock for new synthetic fuels. These simple devices will contribute to every aspect of decarbonisation and on any scale – from single units to large arrays, from tens to thousands of megawatts. They will power data centres, desalination plants and steel foundries, or whole nations.

I had a fantastic time presenting on behalf of MoltexFLEX at Industry Night at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) International Conference on Small Modular Reactors in Vienna 2 weeks ago alongside some fantastic panelists from Seaborg Technologies, CNNC China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., LTD. OKBM Afrikantov and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. (HD KSOE).

It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to participate in the Generation IV International Forum EMWG Financing Taskforce event earlier this week. A great experience ‘performing’ alongside experts from across the nuclear development and financing space, exploring the differences between financing for a nuclear technology company and financing for a nuclear development project. And yes… you did read that correctly, we were ‘performing’ – because this wasn’t your bog-standard panel event, it was a ROLE-PLAYING event. Narrated by the excellent Fiona Reilly (FEI, Hon FNucI), the role-playing exercise featured characters representing Government, a technology company, a project developer, a pension fund, an investment bank, a senior lender, a private equity investor, a venture capitalist, a philanthropist, and even the lenders’ lawyers (yep… quite the cast). Some outstanding performances across the board, but the star of the show was most certainly Tristram Denton, who delivered what can only be described as an Academy Award winning performance as the technology company. Well done to all those involved in bringing the topic of nuclear financing to life in such a fun and creative way. P.S. For anyone wondering… I was thrilled to play Bill Gates for the afternoon, in the role of the philanthropist. #nuclear #financing #netzero #energytransition Fiona Reilly (FEI, Hon FNucI) Tristram Denton Harold Fairfull Gayatri Desai Nicky Davies Richard Werner Huw Williams Darryl Murphy Allan Baker Seoyeong JEONG Dr Keith Franklin MBE

It's been great to have the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories team working with us in our Warrington lab!
We are fortunate that Canadian Nuclear Laboratories are supporting us in the development of our Waste to Stable Salt (WATSS) process. CNL’s expertise will be vital in validating the research we are doing in Canada and in our laboratory in Warrington, UK to create WATSS – which will be used to convert spent #nuclear fuel. We were delighted to welcome a team of CNL scientists to Warrington recently to observe our own researchers and technicians in action and work alongside them. Our huge thanks to the team for visiting, and to CNL for their continuing support in making our #technology a reality. #energy #nuclearenergy #netzero #climateaction

Check out the links in Rory's post to access the presentation slides and full research paper!
It was a huge pleasure and privilege to address the G4SR-5 conference on Friday and present the latest research on the capabilities of our SSR-W wasteburner reactor. It confirms what we’ve known from the start – that our advanced #nuclear technology has ‘best in class’ performance when it comes to disposing of long-lived transuranic elements while creating low-cost, low-carbon #energy. We think it's a big deal and so we're grateful that many of the news outlets are covering it including World Nuclear News where it is the most read article. https://lnkd.in/gA9zRHze If you want to do a light dive, check out the slide deck https://lnkd.in/gxg2vF_y, for all my fellow nerds out there who want to do a deep dive, here is the full paper https://lnkd.in/gvZYH7AC . My huge thanks to the organising committee at the Canadian Nuclear Society for a superb event and for giving Moltex the opportunity to take part. #nuclearenergy #climate #climateaction

#Safety-case informed design is vital to cost-effectively developing a low-cost, rapid-deployment advanced #nuclear plant – and that needs early regulatory engagement. We’re delighted that after industry discussion with Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the regulators across the past year, Office for Nuclear Regulation and Environment Agency introduced early engagement to open a dialogue with SMR vendors. We kicked off our early engagement with ONR and EA in September, with a hugely productive discussion on how our FLEX reactor will meet the principles of the UK’s world-renowned regulatory process. FLEX is built on passive safety – air cooled, walk-away safe, with passive reactivity control – and it was a pleasure to start discussing this with the regulators. #energy #nuclearenergy #climate #climateaction #netzero
