The Kairos Power fluoride salt-cooled high temperature reactor (KP-FHR) is a novel advanced reactor technology that aims to be cost competitive with natural gas in the U.S. electricity market and to provide a long-term reduction in cost.
Our mission is to enable the world’s transition to clean energy, with the ultimate goal of dramatically improving people’s quality of life while protecting the environment.
The Kairos Power fluoride salt-cooled high temperature reactor (KP-FHR) is a novel advanced reactor technology that aims to be cost competitive with natural gas in the U.S. electricity market and to provide a long-term reduction in cost.
This technology builds on a history of proven advanced reactor designs, from coated particle fuel to liquid fluoride salt coolants to low-pressure pool vessels. Its advanced reactor technology is designed for high availability and performance with low maintenance and lifecycle costs, providing dispatchable power that improves grid resiliency and security.
The KP-FHR offers clean and sustainable energy, with a near zero carbon footprint and low potential water consumption. In combination with variable renewables, this technology can create a path to a truly clean energy system. Its robust, accident resistant fuel and low-pressure coolant create an inherently safe design. This means no operator intervention is required to keep the plant in a safe state.
Kairos Power brings together people who want to make a difference in the world regardless of their discipline. We believe in collaborative, hands-on engineering and a work environment that allows us to lead through innovation.
