Kairos Power

Kairos Power is an Alameda, California-based advanced nuclear fission company developing the KP-FHR (Kairos Power Fluoride salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor), a Generation IV reactor design that uses TRISO (tri-structural isotropic) fuel pebbles cooled by molten fluoride salt (FLiBe) at low pressure and high temperature. Kairos Power is building Hermes, a low-power demonstration reactor at the East Tennessee Technology Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, which became the first non-light-water reactor authorized for construction by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in over 50 years (construction permit issued December 2023). A second unit, Hermes 2, will pair two reactors with a 28 MWe electricity-generating turbine. In October 2024 Google signed a corporate power purchase agreement with Kairos Power for up to 500 MW of nuclear electricity from multiple small modular reactors, with the first deployment targeted by 2030 and additional capacity through 2035 — the first corporate PPA for new advanced nuclear in the United States. The company's revenue model is reactor sales, electricity PPAs, and federal cost-share partnerships (DOE Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program). Kairos Power is privately held, does not expose a public developer API or SDK, and operates under NRC regulatory oversight as a safety-critical nuclear licensee.

Kairos Power is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Nuclear, Advanced Nuclear, Nuclear Fission, Small Modular Reactor, and Generation IV.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/kairos-power: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
