The Integral Core

Engineering the Future of Compact Nuclear Reactor Architecture

Eliminate the risk of large-scale leaks by reimagining the very heart of nuclear power.

Strategic Objectives

• Master the principles of Integrated Primary System Architecture (IPSA).

• Understand how to house steam generators and pumps within a single vessel.

• Discover the engineering secrets behind inherently safe reactor designs.

• Explore the transition from massive plants to efficient, modular integral units.

The Core Challenge

Traditional nuclear plants rely on complex external piping loops that are vulnerable to catastrophic loss-of-coolant accidents.
