ARC Clean Technology Secures Series B Funding to Accelerate Advanced Nuclear Reactor Deployment

ARC Clean Technology announced the successful closing of its Series B financing round, attracting investors from the energy, infrastructure, and technology sectors. The funding will accelerate commercialization programs for the ARC-100, a 100 MWe advanced sodium-cooled fast reactor designed to provide carbon-free power.

The company will use the proceeds to advance work with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through its participation in the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program at https://www.energy.gov/ne/advanced-reactor-demonstration-program. The funding also supports ARC's collaboration agreement with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power for global deployment of advanced small modular reactors and continuation of Canadian project development with strategic partner Hatch.

"This investment reflects strong confidence in ARC's progress and the capability of the ARC-100 to deliver reliable, clean heat and power for energy-intensive industries and next-generation data centers," said James Wolf, newly appointed CEO of ARC Clean Technology. The financing enables accelerated deployment with partners in the United States, Canada, and internationally.

ARC's technology is generating interest from multiple jurisdictions seeking reliable clean energy for AI data centers, industrial applications, and on-grid power. The company's simple advanced reactor design uses proven sodium-cooled fast reactor technology that has demonstrated 30 years of prototype performance.

In Canada, ARC has been working with New Brunswick Power on a commercial demonstration at the Point Lepreau site. The company submitted a License to Prepare Site application to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission in 2023 and successfully completed Phase 2 of the CNSC's Vendor Design Review process in 2025. ARC is the only advanced reactor technology in Canada to have achieved both milestones.

The company announced the formation of NuARC in 2025, a partnership with Calgary-based Nucleon Energy to develop and deploy the ARC-100 starting in Alberta, Canada. Potential site evaluations are currently in progress as the company moves toward commercial deployment.

This development matters because advanced nuclear technology represents a critical solution for meeting growing energy demands while addressing climate change concerns. The ARC-100's ability to provide high-temperature, zero-emission power makes it particularly suited for energy-intensive applications like hyperscale data centers and heavy industry that require reliable baseload power unavailable from intermittent renewable sources alone.

The successful financing round indicates growing investor confidence in advanced nuclear technology as a viable component of the clean energy transition. As global energy demands increase, particularly from artificial intelligence computing and data centers, technologies like the ARC-100 could provide the stable, carbon-free power needed to support digital infrastructure growth without increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

The implications extend beyond individual projects to potentially reshape how industries approach decarbonization. If successfully deployed, advanced small modular reactors could provide clean power for manufacturing, chemical production, and other industrial processes that currently rely on fossil fuels. This represents a significant step toward meeting international climate goals while maintaining industrial competitiveness.
