By integrating these processes under one roof, Kairos Power accelerates innovation and ensures continuous improvement, setting them apart as a leader in the nuclear energy space.
The Role of ISO 9001 in Their Mission
For Kairos Power, ISO 9001 certification is more than compliance, it’s a foundation for excellence. The certification provides a standardized framework that ensures consistency across manufacturing, strengthens stakeholder confidence, and reinforces their culture of continuous improvement. As the company scales from early prototyping to repeatable production, ISO 9001 plays a pivotal role in maintaining the discipline and accountability required in the nuclear industry.
“The certification is foundational to Kairos Power’s mission,” the team shared. “It reinforces the discipline required for superior craftsmanship and quality in the nuclear industry while ensuring that lessons learned are systematically integrated into our processes.”
Kairos Power describes their experience working with PJR as “exceptionally positive.” PJR’s collaborative and knowledgeable team provided clear guidance throughout the certification process. Beyond ensuring requirements were met, audit engagements also helped Kairos Power strengthen their quality culture and uncover opportunities for growth.
Currently, Kairos Power operates one ISO-certified manufacturing site in New Mexico, which serves as the cornerstone of their hardware production efforts. This facility is central to the company’s mission and ongoing advancements.
Looking Ahead:
The Hermes Demonstration Reactors
Kairos Power is actively pursuing its mission to deliver clean, affordable, and safe energy. Their near-term focus includes integrated design, licensing, and demonstration of advanced reactors. The company is currently constructing its first reactor, the Hermes Low-Power Demonstration Reactor (Hermes), and preparing for Hermes 2 Demonstration Plant (Hermes 2), their first power-producing reactor.
Under a power purchase agreement (PPA) with TVA, Hermes 2 will supply clean electricity to the Tennessee Valley. This historic milestone marks the first U.S. utility to agree to purchase electricity from an advanced reactor and is also the first step under Kairos Power’s landmark agreement with Google to deliver 500 MW of clean capacity by 2035. With plans to deploy a fleet of commercial reactors, Kairos Power is on track to make a transformative impact on the global energy landscape.
At the core of Kairos Power’s vision is a commitment to enabling the world’s transition to clean energy. Their mission is not only to improve quality of life but also to protect the environment. Every engineering and business decision is rooted in this guiding philosophy, driving their work to make nuclear power safer, more affordable, and more accessible.
