Bluecore Energy raised a $50M Seed round announced Sept. 8, 2026, a follow-on to the $10M it launched with seven weeks earlier in July, to build its first floating nuclear system. Most of the new capital will go toward engineering, testing and licensing the first system — a compact water-cooled reactor on a barge designed to produce roughly 10 megawatts of continuous power and run for years between refuelings. Since July the company has secured its first barge, started formal regulatory engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and U.S. Coast Guard, and is developing a non-fueled reactor module prototype at the Port of Long Beach to validate monitoring and control systems, targeting ports, coastal infrastructure and AI data centers with a long-term goal to power cargo ships.
