Managing Partner at Nucleation Capital

In early June 2024, I had the pleasure of participating in a fireside chat with Amy Rotman during the 121 Mining and Investor Summit. We talked about Nucleation Capital and our thesis revolving around the importance of nuclear energy as a tool in the energy transition. I described some of the new technologies being developed or refined to make nuclear systems that are able to serve the needs of a much larger customer base than the one served by monopoly electric utility companies that wanted huge central station power plants. Industrial heat and electricity production on a smaller scale are driving forces leading developers to configurations that allow higher operating temperatures at lower pressures. We also talked about the business model innovations being pursued, including the idea of companies that build, own and operate fleets of nuclear reactors while selling heat and power under long term power purchase agreements. https://lnkd.in/ecg-grGx

The Midland, MI nuclear power plant was designed to provide process steam to DOW Chemical across the river. The design utilized a tertiary loop to further isolate DOW. We know it can be done. Unfortunately, the plant was cancelled in the fall of 1984.
