Exploring Hydrogen Fuel and How SMRs Make It Viable
To reach our global climate goals, we must change how we produce and use energy. We have shared in past posts how nuclear power is critical for supplying clean electricity around the clock. While nuclear is a great fit for many needs, it cannot replace all instances where fossil fuels are currently used. Hydrogen is […]
Meeting International Commitments with Nuclear Power
Governments around the world are navigating two major challenges. As geopolitical and weather events impact energy supply, countries are turning inwards to ensure their energy security. We have already covered how nuclear power is emerging as a key component of a resilient, domestically produced energy mix. At the same time, there are universal challenges that […]
The History of Small Reactors and the Promise of Generation IV
Over decades of operations, large nuclear power plants have proven their role in the clean energy landscape. Smaller plants developed over the same period have struggled to deliver an economically viable solution. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), designed within the framework of a new generation of nuclear power technology, are built differently. They are more precise, […]
The Role of Small Modular Reactors in Energy Security
As geopolitical disruptions and fluctuating prices at gas stations have recently shown, energy security is not a guarantee. The term represents a lot of factors and does not have a concrete definition, but broadly refers to having energy and the materials needed to produce it that is available, affordable, accessible, and environmentally acceptable. In an […]
What Happens to Nuclear Fuel After it is Used Up?
This is one of the most common questions we get. While it is widely known that used nuclear fuel cannot just go in the landfill or the sewer, there is a long history of stringent practices to ensure that it is transported and stored in extremely safe ways that shield people and the environment from […]
Beyond Fuel: Understanding the SMR Supply Chain
The SMR supply chain is an interconnected process that spans digital design, factory fabrication, on-site assembly, and decades of specialized operations. It is a factory-centric model designed to replace costly, unpredictable construction with the precision of assembly line manufacturing, delivering resilient and predictable clean power. While the quality of materials is a top priority, equally […]
Global Snapshot: Nuclear Power Bolstered Energy Security in 2025
Global energy volatility and geopolitical tensions are fundamentally reshaping national power strategies. Last year we saw governments across multiple continents commit to making nuclear power a core pillar of their energy security policies. There are more noteworthy developments than we have space to discuss, but the examples below paint a clear picture that nuclear power […]
Nuclear Sets Records as Electricity Demand Surges
The global power grid is facing unprecedented pressure as electricity demand accelerates at a historic pace. Nuclear energy is rising to the occasion, having delivered a record-breaking year of output in 2024. Nuclear capacity is now forecast to more than double by 2050, and Small Modular Reactors are set to be a key part of […]
Providing Satellite Transmissions for Host Communities
Beyond providing clean and reliable power, our Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) bring a variety of other valuable benefits to their host communities. One that we are especially excited to offer is free bandwidth for satellite transmissions. Remote Monitoring We designed our SMRs for the most far flung locations, where electricity costs the most and communication […]
Interview: Minimizing Technical and Financial Risk with CFO Matias Campiani
At StarCore, we share the commitment of our peers to providing safe nuclear power. What sets us apart is that we are equally dedicated to minimizing the financial risks of kickstarting the Small Modular Reactor industry. As StarCore’s Chief Financial Officer Matias Campiani explains, our confidence in building according to plan is based on using […]
