We design and operate independent fission microreactors for the places the grid can't reach: off-grid industrial and defense sites today, the lunar surface as NASA and DOE target a 2030 reactor demonstration.
Mission
Off-grid industrial facilities, forward operating bases, and remote research stations face the same constraint as lunar infrastructure: continuous, weather-independent power at high density. Diesel logistics are costly and vulnerable. Solar arrays depend on clear skies and short charge cycles. On the Moon, a 14-day night makes solar-plus-battery architectures impossible at any reasonable mass budget.
Curie is building compact fission power systems for both environments. We're demonstrating the technology terrestrially first—at defense sites, mining operations, and industrial facilities where the grid can't reach—building operational experience and regulatory credibility before deploying the same core architecture to the lunar surface. Our work spans reactor design, thermal management, autonomous control, and the licensing pathway required to operate nuclear systems on Earth and beyond.
Curie is in early-stage technical development. We're not yet hiring at scale, but we're building relationships with nuclear engineers, physicists, and defense/industrial operators who think seriously about autonomous off-grid power—on Earth and beyond.
