The company aims to vertically integrate the entire fuel value chain — from sourcing raw thorium at Australian deposits to manufacturing TRISO fuel kernels at a Florida facility. Thorium offers advantages over uranium including greater abundance, less long-lived waste, and proliferation resistance, but has never been commercialised at scale. Ampera holds over 60 patents for nuclear fuel manufacturing including proprietary TRISO kernel production technology. The announcement comes amid surging nuclear demand from AI data centre operators, though Ampera remains pre-revenue and pre-reactor, with no disclosed timeline for its first operational unit. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
