Our Applications
Providing reliable, resilient power for national security missions; where access is limited, and failure isn't an option.
Frontier Exploration 01
Deep sea and space. Decades of operational life where solar is limited, and recovery & replacement are difficult.
How It Works
One input, but a
slate of products.
Used nuclear fuel (UNF) is the crude oil of the future, a critical feedstock sitting dormant at sites around the U.S., waiting to be recycled. Project Omega's pyroprocessing technology refines UNF into three distinct products:
- isotopes that power systems for decades without need for re-powering
- fuels for next-generation reactors
- isotopes for commercial, scientific and medical uses.
One abundant American feedstock, recycled in a new way, supplying critical industries. This isn't waste management. This is the foundation of a nuclear innovation economy.
Pyroprocessing
A different way to
recycle used nuclear fuel.
Our molten-salt technology efficiently recovers strontium-90 and americium-241 for long-duration power systems, along with uranium and transuranics as feedstock to fuel advanced reactors. Our process uses no water and is proliferation resistant. The result: energy resources recovered and a fraction of the original waste volume remaining.
