Newcleo is a clean energy company dedicated to transforming nuclear power through innovative technologies. It specializes in developing small modular reactors (SMRs) utilizing Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) technology, which employs lead as a coolant to enhance safety and stability compared to traditional water-cooled reactors. This design minimizes the risk of steam explosions and allows for a more secure operational environment. Newcleo also implements a closed fuel cycle, focusing on recycling nuclear waste to be repurposed as fuel, which reduces the reliance on new uranium mining and addresses long-term radioactive waste disposal challenges. Furthermore, the company's approach involves maintaining reactors in a subcritical state and utilizing particle accelerators to enable a safe nuclear fission process, rather than a potentially hazardous chain reaction. Through these advancements, Newcleo aims to provide safe, clean, and renewable energy solutions in the nuclear sector.
With offices in New York and Yaoundé, Hydromine’s multinational team has extensive experience in the international power sector, including Africa, for the origination, financing, construction, or operation of utility-scale power projects. HNE team comprises several of the world’s leading fast reactor engineers who have originated a lead-cooled design (the LFR-AS-200 and LFR-TL-5) that after decades of simplification can offer safer and competitive new nuclear energy.
