Our Investment Thesis
Nuclear is the answer.
Not a bridge fuel — the solution.
Technoeconomic Lens
NPV evaluates nuclear investments through a technoeconomic lens, not purely a technical one. Brilliant reactor designs fail commercially all the time. We ask: is this manufacturable at scale? Can it actually get built, financed, and permitted? We prioritize commercially viable solutions over academically impressive ones.
We don't invest in science projects.
Both / And
NPV believes the nuclear buildout requires both water-cooled reactors and advanced reactors, not one or the other. AP1000s are delivering gigawatts today. Microreactors and molten salt designs are unlocking new markets tomorrow. The industry doesn't have the luxury of picking one path. Insatiable demand means many winners, and our portfolio reflects that conviction.
Insatiable demand means many winners.
Full Capital Stack
Nuclear companies need more than great technology. They need financial capital, political capital, regulatory capital, and stakeholder alignment. NPV maps these relationships and capital flows across the industry. We attend the conferences, know the people, and understand how deals actually get done — not just how reactors work.

Fuel Cycle Thesis
All nuclear plants require fuel, regardless of which reactor design wins. NPV is actively building exposure to the nuclear fuel supply chain — enrichment, conversion, and adjacent infrastructure — because these companies benefit from the entire industry's growth, not just individual technology bets. This is the most durable layer of the value chain.

Nuclear Network
From Oak Ridge to the Paul Scherrer Institute, we sit inside the conversation months before headlines hit. Access is the edge. We attend the conferences, build the relationships, and understand the regulatory and political dynamics that determine which companies succeed.
Knowledge + Access = Edge.
Enabling Technologies
We invest in tangential technologies that empower nuclear to thrive. For every dollar invested in generation capacity, roughly a dollar is needed in transmission and grid infrastructure. NPV monitors this space and selectively deploys into compelling opportunities that support the nuclear buildout — thermal storage, grid infrastructure, and deployment enablers.
