Our Technology
The future of reliable, scalable nuclear energy
Next-generation nuclear: Floating nuclear power plants
Modern societies demand a global energy transition built on high-density, resilient green energy, one that goes beyond the limitations of intermittent power. Saltfoss delivers this through our proprietary Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) technology, advancing reactor engineering to combine safety, capital efficiency, and industrial versatility on a global scale.
Our reactor, the seaMSR-100, provides predictable baseload electricity and high-temperature heat that integrate seamlessly into existing power and heat grids. By shifting from complex on-site construction to turnkey shipyard manufacturing, we enable scalable, cost-efficient green energy that can be deployed quickly anywhere in the world.
Key Features
Next-Gen Liquid Fuel Technology
Liquid salt fuel eliminates high pressure and solid fuel rods, fundamentally simplifying the reactor and enabling safety that is guaranteed by the laws of nature.
Inherently Safe by Physics
A conventional meltdown cannot occur. There are no solid fuel rods to melt. Gravity and thermodynamics bring the system to a safe state without human intervention.
Decarbonizing Heavy Industry
Our 650°C thermal output provides carbon-free energy for industrial sectors that electricity alone cannot cover.
Efficient Industrial Scaling
Standardized turnkey shipyard manufacturing replaces complex on-site construction, delivering predictable, bankable energy assets.
Resilient Baseload Power
Uninterrupted carbon-free power provides the stable anchor for a modern, decentralized energy grid
Scalable, deployable energy decarbonisation
The global demand for clean energy is immense. Nuclear power is especially valuable where supply cannot fluctuate - in data centers, industry, and hydrogen/PtX production, and as the firm baseload of electrical grids. Nuclear is also crucial for the heat transition: Heat is the world's largest energy end use, roughly half of global final energy consumption. Intermittent renewables address only the electricity share, around 20%.
Saltfoss's shipyard-based manufacturing makes it possible to produce 600 MW of new green power capacity per week at full scale. And because the power plant floats, it can be deployed to coastlines around the world - where most human production activity takes place.
Strategic Flexibility & Speed
Floating power plants can be deployed to shores and ports worldwide, placing firm, clean power where most of the world's energy demand actually sits.
Sustainable Scalability
Developing nations need firm, affordable energy to grow and prosper. Floating power plants offer an economical, rapidly deployable alternative to fossil fuels.
The Anchor of the Smart Grid
The seaMSR-100 delivers dependable baseload power that underpins resilient grids, industrial electrification, and rapidly growing demand for clean electricity.
Facts about Molten Salt Reactors
The seaMSR-100 Next-generation Nuclear Reactor
Our proprietary technology, the seaMSR-100, is a molten salt reactor delivering 100 MW of electric power or 250 MW of high-temperature thermal power.
Several reactors can be integrated on a single Saltfoss Power Platform, providing 100-600 MW electric or 250-1,500 MW thermal, or a combination of both, depending on configuration.
Each reactor operates for 24 years without refueling, ensuring simple operation and predictable performance across its entire life cycle.

Turnkey floating nuclear power plant
Saltfoss manufactures floating power plants and deploys them wherever power is needed.
The floating platform enables centralized construction of turnkey power plants, leveraging proven shipyard technology to deliver low cost, high quality, short delivery times, low financing risk, and true scalability.
With a small footprint, a compact emergency planning zone, and flexible siting, the Power Barge is well suited for deployment near existing infrastructure, including the re-powering of fossil fuel plants scheduled for decommissioning.
