The Nuclear Energy Experts

Nuclear energy is experiencing a period of renewed growth, with U.S. states and countries exploring new nuclear programs, companies developing advanced reactors and fusion technologies, and investors looking for opportunities across the nuclear value chain. With so much happening, finding the right nuclear energy expertise to support these efforts can be a challenge.

At Helixos, we are a team of nuclear engineers, scientists, strategists, and communications specialists who help organizations navigate the technical, commercial, and stakeholder challenges of developing and deploying nuclear technologies.

We work across nuclear fission, including small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced reactors, fusion energy, nuclear fuel cycle technologies, and radioactive waste management. With teams in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, we support governments, technology developers, investors, utilities, national laboratories, and industry organizations around the world.

Our expertise spans three main areas:

Nuclear Energy Strategy and Commercialization Consultants

Developing nuclear technologies and building nuclear energy programs requires a clear understanding of the market, regulatory environment, supply chain, and commercial opportunities.

Helixos helps organizations develop business and commercialization strategies, conduct nuclear energy market research, evaluate new markets and applications, and build national and state-level nuclear strategies and roadmaps. We also support workforce development, economic impact assessments, business planning, and go-to-market strategies for advanced nuclear and fusion technologies.

Our past projects include developing a national fusion science and technology roadmap for the U.S. Department of Energy, supporting commercialization strategies for small modular reactor developers, and developing strategic plans for R&D programs at national nuclear laboratories. We have also assessed the economic impacts of introducing nuclear power in a newcomer country and developed a nuclear workforce strategy for a country that already has nuclear power.

For technology developers, our work often involves determining which markets to pursue, understanding what customers need, and developing a realistic pathway from research and development to commercial deployment, with the supply chain to back it up.

Nuclear Engineering Consultants and Technical Advisory Experts

Nuclear energy decisions often depend on highly specialized economic and technical knowledge, particularly when evaluating emerging technologies, planning investments, or assessing whether a technology can be deployed commercially.

Helixos provides independent technical advisory services, including nuclear technology assessments, techno-commercial due diligence, technoeconomic modeling, supply chain analysis, and regulatory strategy. Our team combines nuclear and other engineering expertise with commercial analysis to help clients understand technical maturity, costs, risks, and deployment requirements.

We've conducted due diligence on fusion energy companies for investment funds, evaluated advanced reactor technologies for potential customers, and mapped the global fusion supply chain to identify manufacturing bottlenecks and investment opportunities.

Our technical work also extends to the nuclear fuel cycle and radioactive waste management. Projects have included tritium production technology assessments, isotope supply chain studies, radioactive waste cost modeling, and regulatory documentation for nuclear waste facilities.

Nuclear Energy Communications and Stakeholder Engagement Specialists

Nuclear energy involves complex technologies, long development timelines, and a broad range of stakeholders, from investors and regulators to policymakers and local communities. Effective communication plays an important role in building relationships, explaining technical concepts, and supporting the development and deployment of nuclear projects.

Helixos provides strategic communications, public relations, marketing, branding, media engagement, and community engagement specifically for nuclear fission and fusion organizations. We also deliver science communication and media training for engineers, executives, and technical specialists.

We've supported advanced reactor and fusion startups with company launches, branding, websites, media relations, and ongoing marketing. Our team has worked with industry associations on communications campaigns and industry reports, supported stakeholder engagement for proposed SMR deployments, and helped establish a nuclear innovation ecosystem based at a university.

Across these projects, our approach starts with understanding the technology, business objectives, and audiences so that communications can be accurate, accessible, and relevant to the people making decisions.

Working with Helixos

Whether you're a federal or state government developing a nuclear energy program, an investor evaluating new technology investments, a utility considering small modular reactors, or a startup bringing a new nuclear technology to market, Helixos can provide specialized expertise suited to your needs.

We work on individual projects or as an extension of our clients' teams, bringing together technical, commercial, and communications capabilities depending on the challenge.
