Goldman Sachs Research projects global power demand from data centers could increase by as much as 165% by 2030. This will place unprecedented pressure on the energy grid, and current solutions are not keeping up.

New energy supplies from advanced and small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) are crucial to meeting this demand. However, these reactors require a specific type of fuel: High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU).

The United States Department of Energy estimates that by 2030, the country will need 40 metric tons of HALEU annually to support a commercial nuclear power industry in the U.S., increasing to 500 metric tons per year by 2050. Yet, current production methods are generating less than 1% of that supply.

Nusano’s HALEU enrichment platform is 200x more efficient than traditional methods. A single Nusano system will be able to produce over 50 metric tons of HALEU annually — at a fraction of the cost of other proposed production methods. Nusano will be capable of delivering 350 metric tons of HALEU through a fully U.S.-based supply chain and infrastructure. Our compact and scalable solution is ready to fuel the next generation of nuclear energy in a way that’s responsible to the needs of people and the planet.

Nusano’s program is engineered to deliver commercial-grade HALEU tailored to a wide range of reactor designs. Our system supports diverse enrichment specifications, scales to meet demand within years—not decades—and is ready to deploy.

Our technology is validated and proven, and built for high-throughput enrichment with fewer steps and safer processes. This enables Nusano to tackle some of the most complex challenges in the nuclear fuel supply chain.
