Company profile

Newcleo company profile

Newcleo is a clean energy company focused on revolutionizing nuclear power through innovative technologies. Newcleo is developing small modular reactors (SMRs) based on Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) technology, which offers a more stable cooling mechanism and higher safety margins compared to traditional reactors. LFRs use lead as a coolant instead of water, eliminating the risk of steam explosions and enhancing reactor safety. In addition to this advanced cooling system, Newcleo employs a closed fuel cycle approach that emphasizes recycling nuclear waste as fuel for their reactors. This strategy not only reduces the need for new uranium mining but also helps address the challenge of long-term radioactive waste disposal by repurposing existing waste. Newcleo aims to create safe and clean energy solutions by reprocessing nuclear fuel, offering a renewable alternative in the energy sector.
