Compact Nuclear Reactor Systems
AMPERA Aims to Deliver "Revolutionize Clean Energy for the Ai Era"
Kalin Ned — November 22, 2025The advanced nuclear energy firm AMPERA has concluded its initial confidential development phase and publicly introduced its primary product — a compact nuclear reactor system that utilizes thorium fuel and operates on a subcritical hybrid fusion-fission principle.
The company emphasizes that its design is engineered to generate no long-lived radioactive waste and to function without requiring refueling, with units planned in two distinct power output configurations. This compact nuclear reactor system is intended to serve applications such as artificial intelligence data centers, military installations, and remote community power grids.
AMPERA's venture is financially supported by a major, undisclosed multinational technology corporation, and it reports significant progress in establishing production facilities, securing numerous international patents for its fuel type, and incorporating additive manufacturing techniques into its assembly process. At its core, the company aims to provide a highly scalable and continuously available source of electricity that produces no carbon emissions.
