Next-Generation Nuclear Power - An Unusual Solution for Unusual Times What will next-generation nuclear power look like? At this event we will hear about a unique new option opening up, and its happening right here in Denver. Hyperion Power Generation, Inc. was formed to bring to market a unique small, modular, non-weapons grade nuclear power reactor invented by Dr. Otis Pete Peterson at the United States famed Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Through the commercialization program at their Tech Transfer Division, Hyperion Power was awarded the exclusive license to utilize the intellectual property and develop a product that will benefit the U.S. economy and global society as a whole. The next multi-million dollar phase of work on the development of Hyperion, underwritten by private investors, continues, Hyperion will play a key role as a solution for climate change and the energy crisis. The Hyperion concept was originally conceived as a clean, affordable solution to power mining and industrial operations such as the retorting of oil sands and shale. Other applications and requests for modules now come in daily from around the globe. Hyperion power modules (HPMs) are a perfect alternative for those communities -- such as military bases, hospital and college campuses, that, for security, reliability, or financial reasons, desire to be independent of their local utilitys power source. Equally important is Hyperions ability to bring heat for industrial uses and electricity for infrastructure and homes to remote locations with no reasonable access to reliable energy. For example: over 25% of the worlds population does not have access to clean water. Hyperion hopes to solve this appalling situation by providing the power to pump, clean, and process lifes essential element, thereby turning the tide on disease, poverty and social unrest. The team of business professionals and scientists that are developing Hyperion are deeply concerned about the state of the environment, the human suffering that continues needlessly, and the search for energy independence that is vital not just to the U.S., but to every nation on the planet. The men and women behind HPG are dedicated to realizing the full potential of this small but mighty power module. Clean, safe, affordable energy should be available to everyone even in the most remote locations. Join us as we explore this and many other topics on the renewable energy horizons.
