Our Purpose
Xray of the suns electromagnetic fields: NASA Jet Propulsion Labratory
Leverage our learnings from study and replication of the electromagnetic nature of the sun’s atmosphere to advance plasma-based technology and better humankind.
Our Mission
Transform the way that spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is processed by transmuting radioactive fission products to stable isotopes through a plasma-based Elemental Transmutation Reactor (ETR).

Our Philosophy
Our Technology
ETR 3.1
Elemental Transmutation Reactor 3.1 has been meticulously redesigned from our SAFIRE 3 proof of concept to handle multiple species of radionuclides and enable rapid experimentation iterations.
What makes this different?
Plasma Method
Plasma induced transmutation which produces benign products, instead of smashing atoms.
Scalability
Ability to modularize the system using series and parallel processing to maximize throughput.
Adaptable Chemistry
Aqueous environment design allows for treatment of numerous types and chemistries of waste streams
Proof of concept:
SAFIRE III Elemental Transmutation Reactor (ETR 3.0)
SAFIRE III
In November 2023, the SAFIRE team developed the first transmutation reactor using an aqueous environment to transmute Thorium-232 into numerous benign elements, such as Iron, Nickel, and Lead. These results were verified independently by Gel Laboratories.
