THE CHALLENGE WE'RE SOLVING
The explosion of artificial intelligence, hyperscale data centers, and advanced manufacturing is creating unprecedented power requirements. Traditional energy infrastructure cannot keep pace. Renewable sources alone cannot provide the constant, high-intensity baseload power these critical facilities demand.
Orion deploys American atomic energy at the speed and scale the future requires.
Orion is pioneering the rapid deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) and micro modular reactors (MMRs) for America’s highest-growth sectors. We partner with established nuclear technology companies, customers, and stakeholders to deliver atomic power where it matters most: Data Centers, Military Bases, University Systems, and Large Industrial Facilities.
We don’t just build reactors. We build energy independence.
WHY ATOMIC ENERGY?
Nuclear provides the highest capacity factor of any generation source, over 90% –demonstrating unmatched consistency. Your facilities receive sustained, non-intermittent power, 24/7/365, regardless of weather conditions or time of day.

- Multi-year fixed O&M contracts with experienced operators
- Leverages existing infrastructure at decommissioned sites to reduce costs
- Long-term price stability immune to fuel market volatility
ZERO-CARBON BASELOAD FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
American atomic energy represents our most powerful tool for achieving climate goals without sacrificing economic growth. SMRs complement renewable sources by providing the sustained baseload power that solar and wind cannot deliver alone.
The result is true energy diversification—a resilient grid that reduces fossil fuel dependence, enhances energy security, and supports economic prosperity while meeting our environmental commitments.
Key Advantage: Unlike intermittent sources, SMRs provide 24/7 clean power at over 90% capacity factor, making them the optimal foundation for a zero-carbon energy future.
PROVEN TECHNOLOGY, MODERN DESIGN
Modern SMRs and MMRs incorporate passive safety features and simplified designs developed from decades of nuclear operational experience. These systems operate independently of external power or human intervention.
Minimal Operational Footprint
MMRs are self-contained units requiring minimal on-site personnel for continuous operation. SMRs utilize factory fabrication for consistent quality and reduced construction complexity.
Security Note: All facilities meet or exceed NRC safety and security requirements, with comprehensive emergency response protocols developed in partnership with local authorities.
THE AI REVOLUTION REQUIRES AN ENERGY REVOLUTION
The artificial intelligence boom is transforming every sector of the economy, but it comes with massive energy requirements. A single large-scale AI data center can consume as much power as a small city.
Key Points:
The grid cannot support this growth trajectory. Renewable sources provide valuable intermittent power but cannot deliver the constant, high-capacity baseload required by hyperscale computing, advanced manufacturing, and defense applications. Coal plants are retiring. Natural gas faces price volatility and climate concerns.
American atomic energy is the answer. SMRs and MMRs deliver the density, reliability, and zero-carbon profile that modern facilities demand. They integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, provide decades of predictable operation, and ensure America maintains its competitive edge in the technologies defining the 21st century.
By 2030, data center power demand is projected to triple. Orion is deploying the atomic energy infrastructure to meet that demand today.
THE OPTIMAL SOLUTION FOR AMERICA'S ENERGY FUTURE
SMRs produce the lowest lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of any power source, including CO2. Atomic energy is the cornerstone of achieving climate goals without compromising economic growth or energy security.
Nuclear provides the highest capacity factor of any generation source—over 90%—demonstrating unmatched consistency. Your facilities receive sustained, non-intermittent power, 24/7/365, regardless of weather conditions or time of day.
With 60+ year operational lifespans and the ability to operate independently from the grid during extreme weather events, SMRs provide true energy security for critical infrastructure when it matters most.
