Bluecore Energy floating nuclear reactor proposal

Overview

Bluecore Energy has proposed the deployment of a 10 MW floating nuclear reactor at the Port of Long Beach, California. The project aims to provide continuous electricity for approximately 15,000 homes and support port electrification and automation using water-cooled, barge-mounted small modular reactors. The initiative faces regulatory challenges, specifically regarding a California moratorium on fission reactors established in 1976.

Following the initial proposal, Bluecore Energy secured $50 million in seed funding, led by Silverton Partners, to advance its floating nuclear power systems. The company is currently developing a non-fueled reactor module prototype at the Port of Long Beach to test monitoring and control systems. Additionally, the company has initiated formal regulatory engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Coast Guard to establish safety requirements for maritime nuclear technology.
