KULR grants carbon fiber cathode license for nuclear reactor application

KULR Technology (KULR) announced the signing of a multi-million-dollar licensing agreement with a new technology partner to enable advanced carbon fiber cathode applications for nuclear reactor systems in Japan. The licensed carbon fiber cathode solutions are specifically engineered for critical use in nuclear reactors, offering enhanced safety, superior heat dissipation, and structural integrity. The carbon fiber-based thermal interface materials provide high-performance solutions for demanding nuclear energy applications. The license will be applied to laser-based nuclear fusion systems as well as small modular reactors, a rapidly emerging technology with the potential to deliver cost-effective and reliable fusion energy. Laser-based fusion employs high-powered lasers to initiate fusion reactions, representing a groundbreaking alternative to traditional methods.
