Nuclear
microreactors.

Reactors small enough to ship in a container and run for years without refuelling. The competition is not the grid — it is diesel, flown or trucked to places where fuel logistics dominate the budget.

The essentials
TOPIC

The diesel comparison

At a remote site, delivered diesel can cost many times the wholesale price. That is the bar a microreactor has to clear, and it is a low bar.

TOPIC

Years without refuelling

Long-life cores remove the resupply convoy entirely. For defense logistics that is the entire value proposition.

TOPIC

Transportability

Factory-fuelled, sealed, shipped, operated, and returned. That model needs a regulatory framework that mostly does not exist yet.
