Saltfoss Energy is a leading scale-up company at the forefront of advanced and innovative nuclear reactor technology, specifically focusing on molten salt reactors. The company is actively developing the design for its Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR), alongside comprehensive licensing and experimental validation activities. This involves verifying key safety and performance claims and building new experimental facilities to support their groundbreaking technology.

The CMSR represents a fundamental rethinking of nuclear power. Unlike conventional reactors with solid fuel rods requiring constant high-pressure water cooling, the CMSR mixes fuel in a liquid salt that also functions as the coolant. This inherent design ensures constant cooling and prevents meltdowns or explosions, as the reactor will simply shut down automatically in an emergency. This approach significantly reduces complexity and cost, making nuclear power more accessible.

Saltfoss aims to make nuclear energy inexpensive, sustainable, and safe, enabling it to out-compete fossil fuels and revolutionize energy markets. Their CMSR technology is designed to be deployed on serially produced Power Barges, offering a turnkey floating power plant solution. These modular Power Barges are capable of producing between 200 to 800 MW of electricity and are built for an operational lifetime of 24 years, providing abundant, affordable, and low-emission energy globally.

The company emphasizes the sustainable aspects of its technology, highlighting a small environmental footprint, very low resource use compared to other energy sources, and a competitive kWh price. By offering deployable, low-emission energy, Saltfoss Energy contributes to a future where nuclear power is an engine for economic growth and widely available for everyone, demonstrating a CO2 intensity comparable to wind power.
