CORE POWER was founded in 2018 to solve the world’s energy challenges by delivering ship-based power directly to the industries and economies driving global prosperity, overcoming the barriers that have held nuclear energy back. CORE POWER builds, integrates and deploys ship-based nuclear energy systems. We build and support two classes of vessel: moored ship‑shaped power plants, or FNPPs, that generate high‑density energy, and nuclear‑powered commercial ships that will speed up global trade.
