U.S. and UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

AMPERA Founder and CEO Brian Matthews and Chief Commercial Officer Peter Holden participated in a high-level meeting in London convened by the U.K. Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Department for Business and Trade. The gathering brought together government leaders, industry representatives, investors and advanced nuclear organizations from the United Kingdom and United States to discuss policy, investment, deployment and the opportunities ahead for advanced nuclear technologies.Nearly one year after the launch of the U.K.–U.S. Transatlantic Partnership, the discussion highlighted the importance of closer cross-border collaboration to accelerate the development and deployment of next-generation nuclear solutions. With the U.K. advancing its Advanced Nuclear Framework and Pipeline, AMPERA sees growing momentum for meaningful opportunities to help shape the next chapter of advanced nuclear deployment.

SMM

Dubbed “The World’s Leading Maritime Industry Event,” SMM served as a prime location for AMPERA to showcase its PowerNOW. NuclearNEXT. integrated energy platform.With nearly 50,000 attendees and more than 2,000 exhibitors, SMM reflects more than 100 countries and 29 marine delegations.AMPERA highlighted its safe, efficient, modular systems that are designed for redundant, economical dockside solutions, floating platforms, propulsion and emergency power. Benefits for maritime customers are fuel economics, compact space, carbon compliance and longevity. On land or water, AMPERA advanced energy solutions are built for markets where power is needed most. AMPERA was excited to share this message with thousands of participants at the SMM fair.

IAEA International Nuclear Maritime Forum

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) brought together participants from more than 50 countries as part of the Atomic Technologies Licensed for Applications at Sea (ATLAS) global initiative to support the use of nuclear power in civilian shipping and floating nuclear power plants.AMPERA Founder and CEO Brian Mattews and Vice President of Reactor Engineering Cristian Marciulescu were in attendance for the two-day forum in Washington, DC, as part of the cohort from the Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization.The International High-level Forum on the ATLAS launch included approximately 600 participants including government officials, industry leaders and maritime authorities, marking the first globally coordinated effort to connect the nuclear and maritime sectors.According to an IAEA forum recap, maritime transport carries around 80% of global trade. As demand for seaborne trade continues to grow by around 2% annually, so does the need for reliable long-distance transport solutions that enhance energy security.“Nuclear power, including through advanced and innovative reactor technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs), offers high energy density and long endurance, which could allow ships to operate for extended periods without refuelling,” the IAEA said.As a result of the forum, 25 Member States of the IAEA issued a joint statement.“The work accomplished at this Ministerial brings us closer to turning the promise of offshore nuclear energy and nuclear-powered shipping into commercial reality,” said U.S Secretary of Energy Chris Wright.

South Florida’s AMPERA lands major shipping deal as it opens new global headquarters

For decades, the shipping industry has been stuck in a contradiction. It powers global trade, yet relies on some of the dirtiest fuels on earth to do it. Now, a South Florida company is stepping into that tension with a proposal that sounds closer to science fiction than logistics: nuclear-powered ships that could operate for decades without refueling.
