For The Next Era
Technology
Reactor Vessel
The primary pressure boundary that houses the nuclear core. Built from high strength steel to contain heat, pressure, and radiation while ensuring structural integrity and safety.
Fuel Assembly
Contains the nuclear fuel rods arranged in a precise lattice to sustain a controlled fission reaction and generate heat efficiently.
Coolant Pins
Provide structured flow paths for coolant through the core, enabling efficient heat removal and maintaining safe operating temperatures.
Reactor Pool
A surrounding water body that delivers passive cooling, radiation shielding, and enhanced thermal safety through high heat capacity and natural convection.
Our technology represents a new application of light-water reactor principles. Our Light Water Modular Reactor is purpose-built from the ground up to prioritize passive safety, operational simplicity, and modular deployment. While the architecture itself is novel, it is grounded in decades of validated light-water reactor physics, enabling self-stabilizing behavior, passive cooling, and walk-away safety without reliance on active systems.

Fuel Lifecycle
VER - 200
The Vulcaris Energy Small Modular Reactor delivers 200 MWt of reliable baseload power using a light-water-cooled design proven by decades of operating experience. Engineered for single-cycle operation exceeding 15 years, the reactor eliminates frequent refueling while reducing operational complexity and cost.
Our Refueling Process
Refueling is designed to be fast, controlled, and disruption-free. When an SMR reaches the end of its fuel cycle, Vulcaris ships a pre qualified replacement core to the site and our team performs a direct on-site core exchange. The existing core is removed from the reactor and immediately replaced with the new unit, restoring full operation in a single, planned service window. The removed core is then transported back to a Vulcaris facility, where it enters a secure recycling and reprocessing workflow. This exchange-based approach minimizes downtime, eliminates on-site fuel handling, and ensures continuous, reliable power without the need for complex refueling infrastructure.
Our Safety Systems
Safety is provided through fail-safe, automated shutdown systems based on passive physical mechanisms. Gravity-driven control rods automatically insert upon abnormal conditions or loss of power, ensuring rapid reactor shutdown independent of software. Digital systems support continuous monitoring and supervisory control, while reactivity during normal operation is managed using boric acid control in the VE-200, maintaining stable operation with clear separation from safety-critical functions.
Automation
All systems are designed for highly automated operation, supported by advanced digital instrumentation and control for monitoring, diagnostics, and operational optimization.
Reactivity control and nuclear safety functions are implemented through deterministic, hardware-based systems, independent of software. Digital systems operate in a supervisory and advisory role, supporting set point management, condition monitoring, and predictive maintenance. This architecture reduces operating costs, simplifies maintenance, and enables reliable, low-intervention operation while maintaining clear separation between safety-critical functions and non-safety digital automation.
