Kairos Power completed the first phase of its Engineering Test Unit 3 hardware demonstration in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, designed and built a reduced-scale mockup of the Hermes 2 reactor cavity for testing modular shielding designs and remote handling operations.

Kairos Power has a mission to enable the world’s clean energy transition to improve people’s quality of life while protecting the environment. We are an engineering company focused on the delivery of a clean, affordable and safe energy solution through the integrated design, licensing and demonstration of advanced reactor technology. Growing from a broad research effort at U.S. universities and national laboratories, Kairos Power was founded to accelerate the development of an innovative nuclear technology that has the potential to transform the energy landscape in the United States and internationally. Kairos Power is focused on reducing technical risk through a novel approach to test iteration often lacking in the nuclear space. Our schedule is driven by the goal of a U.S. demonstration plant before 2030 and a rapid deployment thereafter. The challenge is great, but so too is the opportunity.
