About Us
Subcritical Systems is an Austin, Texas based company bringing the Energy Amplifier concept to the US to safely generate electrical power. The Energy Amplifier consists of a high power proton linear accelerator used to sustain the subcritical fission of nuclear fuel, generating power. There is no potential for criticality in both normal operation and off-normal conditions.
Built by a team of entrepreneurs, scientists and engineers with decades of experience. Financially backed and hiring now.

Advantages of the Energy Amplifier/Accelerator Driven System (ADS)
Advantages of the Energy Amplifier/Accelerator Driven System (ADS)
Inherent Safety since the particle accelerator provides a simple on-off switch for the fission process. The core can never reach criticality
