Nucleation Capital Participates for a Second Time in Blykalla’s $50M Financing

Nucleation Capital is pleased to congratulate Blykalla on the close of its $50 million financing round in December 2025 and to confirm its participation as a returning investor. The round was co-led by Oklo, Norrsken Launcher, and Armada Investment, with participation from strategic and financial investors including KDDI, Earth Venture Capital, and the co-founders of CoreWeave.

This marks Nucleation Capital’s second investment in Blykalla, following the $7.3 million Series A completed in the spring of 2024, which Nucleation co-led with Norrsken Ventures. Since that time, Blykalla has continued the development of its SEALER lead-cooled reactor while expanding its commercial and partnership activity across Europe and North America.

Over the course of 2025, Blykalla announced a series of partnerships and project-related agreements tied to Nordic deployment of its SEALER reactor, transatlantic cooperation, and the use of nuclear power for data centers.

In February, Blykalla and Norsk Kjernekraft announced a memorandum of understanding to explore the deployment of the SEALER reactor in Scandinavia, followed later by an agreement to pursue an SMR project in Norway’s Svalbard region. In late September 2025, Blykalla announced a major transatlantic partnership with Oklo to collaborate on reactor technology, supply chains, and regulatory coordination. Subsequently, in October 2025, Blykalla announced a landmark partnership with licensed nuclear site host Studsvik and European hyperscaler evroc to evaluate Sweden's first nuclear-powered data centers at the Studsvik site in Nyköping, Sweden. 

The capital from this financing will support continued testing and validation at the Advanced Reactor Testing Site in Oskarshamn, Sweden, further design and engineering work on Blykalla’s first nuclear units, and ongoing commercial and regulatory efforts related to siting and licensing its initial SEALER project.

Nucleation Capital invests in advanced nuclear and nuclear-adjacent companies focused on delivering reliable, zero-carbon energy. Nucleation’s continued participation in Blykalla reflects its long-term view that multiple next-generation reactor designs will be required to meet growing electricity demand from industry, data infrastructure, and other energy-intensive sectors.

AI’s growing energy demand + carbon concerns powers momentum for nuclear

Growing Energy demand provided demand pull for both traditional and next-generation reactors throughout Q3 of 2025. Yet further boosting momentum was the announcement by the DOE that they had selected ten ventures for accelerated design review of a test unit. This has lit a fire under those and other ventures already making progress to try to get the DOE to allow them to build something by July 4, 2026.
