The Pylon is a 4500 kg 125-150 kWe radiatively-cooled gas-cooled micro-modular reactor (MMR).
10-TON CLASS MICRO REACTOR - Configurable for Earth and Space
Pylon builds on the expertise of Ultra Safe's MMR and FCM Fuel technologies. The Pylon architecture is a commercially viable fission power system designed for safely generating electrical and thermal power anywhere. Compared to MMR, Pylon is a lower mass system that is more easily transportable to off-grid locations and space.
