ARC Clean Technology and Nucleon Energy have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore the deployment of ARC's advanced small modular reactor (SMR) design, the ARC-100, at various power generation sites in Alberta, Canada, and Texas. This partnership aims to establish a long-term commercial relationship, potentially leading to the installation of multiple ARC-100 units across North America. The collaboration will focus on evaluating site options for the reactors and progressing towards regulatory licensing in both Canada and the United States.

The ARC-100 is a Generation IV sodium-cooled fast reactor designed for electricity and industrial heat applications, currently being developed in partnership with New Brunswick Power. The utility has already submitted a Licence to Prepare Site application to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for a commercial demonstration of the ARC reactor. Both companies emphasize the importance of this partnership in advancing clean, reliable energy solutions that address power reliability and emissions reduction.
