What is the Friday Night Energy Showcase?

The Friday Night Energy Showcase is a free event open to the public designed to exhibit the latest research and technologies in the energy space. With more than 90 presenters and 1,000 attendees, the Friday Night Energy Showcase is the most widely attended event of the MIT Energy Conference. Energy professionals, students, researchers and the general public will be able to explore the innovations that will shape the industry in the near future.

Along with posters from academic institutions and start-ups, the Showcase will also feature interactive demos and prototypes, giving attendees a unique opportunity to mingle with prominent energy researchers and innovators within a hands-on atmosphere. The casual setting is designed to foster dialogue amongst energy-conscious community members and experienced professionals.

$We are designing a micro nuclear reactor for cogeneration in remote communities and industrial facilities where energy costs can exceed 30 cents/kWhr and power is needed 24/7. These reactors can also power military installations and local microgrids where electricity supply stability is critical. uPower reactors are solid state reactors, meaning they don't have coolant flowing through them, don't have pumps, and don't have pipes. This means the reactor does not require external power, nor makeup cooling water, so it is completely immune to Fukushima-type accidents. Our design is based on proven technologies, and our design method allows us to do full scale testing and validation for technology demonstration and licensing at a fraction of what it costs for competing technologies, we may be able to reach the market in a much shorter time compared to any other reactor technology.$
