Nuclear Thermoelectric Generator

About

Compact nuclear reactor for reliable, long-term power

The Nuclear Thermoelectric Generator (NTG) addresses the growing global energy demand and associated environmental concerns by providing a compact, mass-producible reactor that outputs 0.5-1.2 MW per unit. Unlike traditional reactors requiring extensive construction and high costs, the NTG operates silently, needs minimal maintenance, and lasts 12-16 years without refuelling. Its compact size allows four units to fit within a shipping container, making it ideal for powering remote locations and for disaster relief efforts, while offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and large-scale nuclear plants
