Curio Welcomes NDB as a Customer in Using Recycled Nuclear Waste to Power Advanced Batteries

Curio's NuCycle Facility to Provide Offtake Radioisotopes to Power Nano Diamond Advanced Batteries

WASHINGTON, July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Curio is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) with NDB, Inc. to use recovered radioisotopes from recycled nuclear waste as the power source for NDB's or Nano Diamond Batteries.

"Our NuCycle™ facility will recover valuable isotopes from used nuclear fuel for use in NDB's innovative batteries that could one day power hospitals, satellites, deep space probes and many other exciting endeavors that require a long battery life," said Edward McGinnis, Chief Executive Officer of Curio. "Welcoming NDB as a valued customer is another important step to unlocking the full potential of nuclear technology while substantially reducing the amount of high-level waste being stored across the nation."

"Using Curio's innovative NuCycle process for spent nuclear fuel, the NDB will receive the isotopes it needs from a secure and affordable supply. Together, the NDB nuclear battery and Curio's solutions have the potential to disrupt the energy sector," said Dr. Nima Golsharifi, Chief Executive Officer of NDB.

Dedicated to solving the most pressing hurdles facing nuclear power, Curio™ is focused on commercializing the case for a closed fuel cycle with nuclear waste recycling and unleashing the full potential of the atom. From closing the cycle to the production of proliferation-hardened alternative fuels for our current fleet of reactors, advanced reactors, nuclear medicine, deep space applications and advanced batteries, Curio sees a bright future of global prosperity powered by the atom.
