NuWells uses proven drilling to place SMRs underground, using stable rock instead of traditional concrete containment.
NuWells uses proven drilling to place SMRs underground, using stable rock instead of traditional concrete containment.
A NuWell is a large-diameter wellbore engineered to serve as an underground containment structure — 4 to 20 feet across, drilled 1,000 to 4,000 feet deep into competent rock.
A single well can host reactor modules delivering 10–200 MW of power. The reactor fuel sits far below ground and is behind multiple engineered barriers, while the surface facility is built to standard, non-nuclear industrial specifications.
We’re taking the stage at Avatar Demo Day in Calgary on November 19th, and you're invited!
