Bluecore Energy builds compact, water-cooled nuclear reactors mounted on floating barges to provide zero-emission power to ports, coastal infrastructure, data centers, and other communities that need it.
Bluecore targets ports, data centers, and critical infrastructure with mobile 10 MWe plants that can connect by subsea cable, addressing the long lead times and geographic limits of fixed power infrastructure. Its disclosed funding has reached $60 million across a $10 million pre-seed and $50 million seed, but reporting says it remains years from commercial deployment and must clear NRC and Coast Guard review.
