Who We Are
The people who build
Kairos Power was started by co-founders who saw a unique opportunity to combat climate change by reimagining not just nuclear energy, but the entire energy system. We’ve grown from a startup into a vertically integrated nuclear development company with multiple facilities, a world-class team, and a mission to deliver reliable, affordable energy at scale. Our headquarters in Alameda anchors a national footprint—from a manufacturing hub in Albuquerque to the Hermes reactor series now under construction in Oak Ridge.
What We Believe
The opportune moment
Kairos is a Greek word for the right or opportune moment, and that sense of timing has guided us from the start. The rapid build-out of natural gas power plants in the early 2000s created an opportunity: those plants will reach their end of life in the 2030s and 2040s. We intend for Kairos Power’s nuclear technology to be a competitive replacement for that essential baseload power—without the carbon emissions. To meet this moment, we’re working with urgency toward commercial scale‑up, beginning with U.S. demonstration and deployment.
Where We're Going
The clear path forward
In Oak Ridge, we’re advancing two flagship projects: Hermes 1, the first non-water-cooled reactor to receive an NRC construction permit, and Hermes 2, a commercial-scale demonstration plant that will supply electricity to the grid. These projects place us on what we believe is a credible path to accelerate the world’s transition to clean energy by commercializing our fluoride salt–cooled high-temperature reactor (KP-FHR) technology.
