Bluecore Energy, a startup focused on maritime nuclear energy, has raised $10 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Slauson & Co. The company aims to develop small modular reactors on floating barges to provide clean energy to ports and nearby communities, potentially powering around 15,000 homes.
The funding will support the deployment of their product, which includes a test reactor pressure vessel for validating their design. Bluecore is also collaborating with regulatory agencies to ensure safety in their reactor designs, addressing the growing energy demands from data centers.
Watch for Bluecore's progress in securing regulatory approvals and deploying their test reactor. Their approach could reshape energy supply for coastal communities and data centers, potentially alleviating local resource strain while advancing maritime nuclear technology.
