Timeline (last 90 days)
Samsung C&T will provide up to $100 million in funding to Kairos Power to help it build its first 50 MW nuclear power plant.
Google is one of the core customers of Kairos Power's 50 MW reactor.
Kairos Power uses Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR) technology, with molten salt as the coolant instead of water, and the reactor operates at atmospheric pressure rather than high pressure.
Kairos Power completed the construction permit application for its FHR design non-power demonstration reactor (Hermes) in 2023.
The U.S. Department of Energy has provided funding to multiple companies including Kairos through the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP).
Samsung C&T is not only providing financial investment but is also deeply involved in the construction phase of Kairos Power's nuclear power plant.
