Tru Power Signs MOU with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories
Tru Power, Inc. and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the development of power solutions utilizing tritium as a power source. Tru Power has developed a unique, patented power approach and devices that require tritiation of a proprietary organic polymer compound. CNL’s Chalk River facilities have
the most comprehensive and world leading capabilities for the handling of tritium, including the
tritiation of target materials.
The parties, in the first stage, will explore jointly developing and producing power solutions for field testing with commercial customers using Tru Power’s patented process and proprietary compound. Following successful production, testing, and acceptance by prospective customers, Tru Power and CNL will examine option towards the optimal approach for the mass production and delivery of Tru Power’s tritiated solutions.
“Our MOU with Tru Power is consistent with our mandate to enable nuclear science and technology and to protect the environment,” commented Ian Castillo, Head of the Hydrogen and Tritium Technologies Directorate at CNL. “We work with Canada’s utilities and industry to produce commercial innovative power solutions for an increasingly interconnected world.”
Kevin Power, Chairman and CEO of Tru Power, welcomed the collaboration with CNL, “CNL’s world class facilities, and extensive experience with nuclear energy ensures that our commercial solutions will be developed with the highest quality control and safety standards.”
About Tru Power, Inc.
TRU POWER (formerly ROME Energy, Inc.) developed the first scalable tritium power solution incorporating a patented containment process and unique proprietary organic compound. Our tritium powered energy solutions harness and optimize the available energy during the longduration half-life of tritium. TRU POWER solutions utilize technologies developed from more than 10 years of R&D that began at the University of Maryland to explore the unique properties
of tritium as a potential energy source. Development work was initially done under contracts from the Army Research Lab.
