A transportable, container scale microreactor under active design, built for firm, dispatchable nucler power. This is our core deep tech research programme running alongside our distributed solar business.
The current BRT-MR1 iteration, modelled in OpenMC using ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear data, sized to fit within standard freight infrastructure.
The Mark 5 core pairs a uranium nitride HALEU fuel monolith with sodium heat pipes for passive heat removal, and beryllium oxide (BeO) reflectors to improve neutron economy.
Five design iterations (Mark 1 through Mark 5) were simulated in OpenMC on a WSL/Ubuntu/Miniconda toolchain, using ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear data libraries.
From an early HTGR concept to the current sodium heat-pipe direction.
Earlier 100 kWe high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) concept using TRISO pebble fuel and a helium Brayton cycle, with a detailed cost breakdown and South African NNR regulatory context.
Four successive OpenMC design iterations moving toward a sodium heat pipe cooled, HALEU fuelled architecture sized for container transport.
Latest iteration reaching k-effective of 1.1200 ± 0.0020, with UN HALEU fuel, sodium heat pipes, BeO reflectors, and B₄C/BeO control drums sized to fit a 6m ISO container.
A Power as a Service commercial model paired with strategic partnerships and funding routes.
Baartman Energy is pursuing a Power as a Service model for BRT-MR1: customers contract for delivered power rather than purchasing and operating a reactor themselves.
Funding strategy targets Y Combinator, the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, and Knife Capital, alongside a potential partnership with NECSA, South Africa's national nuclear energy corporation.
For research collaboration, investment, or regulatory partnership enquiries relating to BRT-MR1.
Get in touch about the microreactor programme.
We're a small, fast moving team working across distributed solar and next generation nuclear power. If you want your work to matter, get in touch.
We're a lean team every hire has real ownership from day one. Don't see an exact fit? Reach out anyway.
Support OpenMC neutronics modelling for the BRT-MR1 microreactor programme — core design iteration, criticality analysis, and shielding studies.
Work on thermal hydraulic design and container scale packaging for the microreactor, plus mechanical design support for commercial solar installations.
Install and commission residential and commercial solar PV and battery systems, and support ongoing maintenance across our growing installed base.
Drive funding, grant, and partnership conversations across our commercial solar pipeline and the microreactor programme, including NECSA and investor relationships.
You'll work directly with the founder across both the solar business and the reactor programme, not in a silo.
We move between rigorous physics work and hands-on installation work in the same week.
Every system we design is built for South African grid conditions and regulatory realities from the start.
