Deployable Energy Partners with Sargent & Lundy for Unity-1 Microreactor Licensing Support
Deployable Energy has selected Sargent & Lundy to provide engineering and licensing support for its Unity-1 microreactor. The collaboration aims to prepare a construction permit application (CPA) submission to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). This partnership leverages Sargent & Lundy's extensive nuclear expertise in design, safety analysis, and regulatory compliance. The Unity-1 is a 1-MWe microreactor designed for rapid deployment using standard industrial processes and fuels already available at scale. Earlier this year, the reactor achieved criticality as part of an executive order deadline set by the U.S. government. Work on the project has begun with plans to submit the CPA in line with Deployable Energy's broader licensing timeline. Sargent & Lundy emphasized its long-standing role in nuclear innovation and expressed commitment to advancing commercial microreactor development, while Deployable Energy highlighted their vision of making nuclear energy a scalable product rather than an infrastructure-heavy project.
