Newcleo

Newcleo is a clean‑energy company that develops small modular reactors using lead‑cooled fast reactor technology. The lead coolant eliminates the risk of steam explosions and provides a stable, intrinsically safe cooling system. The company employs a closed fuel cycle that recycles nuclear waste as fuel, reducing the need for new uranium mining and addressing long‑term waste disposal. Additionally, Newcleo integrates a particle accelerator to maintain the reactor in a subcritical state, further lowering radioactive waste production and preventing nuclear accidents. Through these innovations, Newcleo aims to deliver safer, cleaner, and more sustainable nuclear power.
