Core Power – the United Kingdom-based partner in the Molten Chloride Fast Reactor (MCFR) development consortium, together with TerraPower, Southern Co. and Orano, with exclusive rights to market and license this reactor into the marine market.

Southern Company, a leading utility, is partnering with Bill Gate's TerraPower to develop a molten chloride fast reactor (MCFR) that uses liquid salts as both a coolant and fuel. Working with consortium of experts to accelerate this work, the group will begin testing in a $20 million test facility starting in 2021 while targeting to beta test their design in the late 2020s.
