WASHINGTON, DC, December 16, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ARC Clean Technology ("ARC"), a leading developer of advanced small modular reactors ("aSMRs") today announced the successful closing of its Series B financing round. The round attracted a strong group of new and existing investors from across the energy, infrastructure, and technology sectors. The investor group is comprised of the corporate venture capital arm of a major energy company, multiple venture capital funds, strategic investors, existing investors and large family offices. Participants include Xplor Ventures, Hennessy Capital Group, Cleantech Ventures, Core Synergy and Banpu Ventures.

ARC will use the proceeds to advance commercialization programs for the ARC-100, its 100 MWe advanced sodium-cooled fast reactor. Additionally, the funding will support ARC's ongoing work with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), its collaboration agreement with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) for global aSMR fleet deployment, and continuation of its Canadian project development supported by strategic partner, Hatch.

"Hatch has been working closely with ARC since 2022, and we are pleased to see the significant progress the company has made toward deploying the ARC-100," said Amar Jolly, Managing Director, Power at Hatch. "Its high-temperature, zero-emission design is ideally suited to power hyperscale data centers and heavy industry, and we look forward to continuing our partnership as ARC advances toward commercial deployment."

As the company moves into this next phase of commercialization, James Wolf has been appointed CEO. Bob Braun will continue to lead ARC operations in Canada.

"This investment reflects strong confidence in ARC's progress and the capability of the ARC-100 to deliver reliable, clean heat and power for energy-intensive industries and next-generation data centers," said James Wolf, CEO of ARC Clean Technology. "The financing enables us to accelerate our deployment with our partners in the United States, Canada, and internationally."

ARC's simple advanced reactor design using proven sodium-cooled fast reactor technology, combined with recent commercialization milestones, is generating strong interest from multiple jurisdictions and project developers who are looking to aSMR technology for reliable, clean energy to support AI data centers, as well as industrial and on-grid applications.

In the United States, ARC is a grant funding awardee of the US Department of Energy Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program to develop and deploy the ARC-100 in the United States.

In Canada, ARC has been working with New Brunswick Power on a commercial demonstration of the ARC-100 at the Point Lepreau site. In 2023, New Brunswick Power submitted a License to Prepare Site application to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for the ARC-100 project, and in 2025 ARC successfully completed Phase 2 of the CNSC's rigorous Vendor Design Review process. ARC is the only advanced reactor technology in Canada to have achieved both milestones.

In 2025, ARC announced the formation of NuARC, a partnership entity with Calgary-based Nucleon Energy to develop and deploy the ARC-100 starting in Alberta, Canada with evaluation of potential sites in progress.
