Microreactor Revolution: Nuclear Power Goes Small, Mobile, and Off-Grid - Josef Freundorfer - CEO - Nuclea Energy

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail What if you could ship a nuclear power plant like a container - and run it for years without refueling? Josef Freundorfer is the CEO of Nuclea Energy ( ), where he is leading the development of next-generation nuclear microreactors designed to bring reliable, zero-carbon power to some of the world’s most challenging environments. An engineer by training, Josef brings hands-on experience across reactor design, fuel handling, and nuclear operations - having worked at Bruce Power and Candu Energy - combined with a strategic perspective shaped by his role as founder and president of Nuclear Potential Canada, where he has been an active voice in advancing nuclear innovation and public understanding. At Nuclea, Josef is spearheading the development of the Morpheus Reactor - a lead-cooled, graphite-moderated microreactor platform aimed at powering remote communities, mining operations, defense installations, and energy-intensive infrastructure like data centers.
