First article: single dome, four modules, ~1.2 GW, ~20–30 acre nuclear island. Private offtake — data centers and large industrial loads build and pay for their own power.
Site layout diagrams available in investor materials
Shared civil envelope (circular excavation + ellipsoid dome) with modular reactor slots. Reactor is a replaceable component. Horizontal turbine-generators are the near-term baseline.
One excavation and shell support multiple modules. Subsequent units benefit from the same design and construction learning.
Data centers and large industrial loads contract for the power and carry the capital. Not structured as traditional utility rate-base recovery.
Start with one or two modules. Add capacity after the shell is standing. First-article planning range: $6–8 billion all-in.
Consistent definition used across the site. Detailed engineering and cost work can be shared after an introductory conversation.
Active discussions focused on data-center adjacency and Puerto Rico grid transformation. Larger portfolio is illustrative until the first unit is proven.
Nuclear island for a 1.2 GW CES dome versus a conventional large plant of similar output.
| Metric | CES Dome (1.2 GW) | Conventional Plant |
|---|---|---|
| Nuclear Island | 20–30 acres | 200–800+ acres |
| Configuration | Shared shell, modular slots | Separate islands |
| Offtake | Private / behind-the-meter | Utility rate base |
Policy and market developments that affect permitting and private offtake for modular nuclear.
The five largest AI hyperscalers are projected to spend $1.1 trillion on AI infrastructure in 2027 alone, surpassing the U.S. defense budget as a share of GDP. This historic shift demands clean, reliable baseload power at unprecedented scale.
The Department of Energy announced that its AI-powered platform, in collaboration with Everstar's Gordian AI, successfully converted a complex safety analysis document into 208 pages of high-quality NRC license application content in just one day — a process that normally requires a team of experts four to six weeks.
As lawmakers from both parties advance legislation aimed at protecting consumers from rising electricity costs tied to data centers, a compelling op-ed published in Fortune argues that these facilities are not the core problem. Instead, the real culprit is a decades-old, underbuilt grid struggling to keep pace with modern demands.
Executive summary, engineering review brief, and financial materials can be shared after an introductory conversation.
