Last Energy uses a customer-driven approach, focusing on first principles to bring nuclear energy to scale. Our innovation is simple: leverage only proven nuclear technology, create a replicable, manufacturable power plant, and size for private capital. This is how you unlock nuclear power at scale, and that is what we founded Last Energy to do.
Bret Kugelmass founded the EIC research institute which sought to answer the ultimate question of our lifetime: how to reverse climate change.
To understand the industry’s challenges and future applications, EIC launched TON, the leading nuclear podcast featuring the greatest minds in nuclear energy.
EIC created the first open source, small pressurized water reactor research project to prove that nuclear can be a widely accessible, standardized, and commercialized source of energy.
After years of research, EIC launched Last Energy to put our findings into action: integrate proven reactor technology and a full-service delivery model to scale nuclear, decarbonize energy production, and increase access to clean, affordable power.
Historically, nuclear power plants have been massive, one-of-a-kind complexes that take years to build and supply power to thousands of people. But this model may not work to meet the planet’s future energy needs.

A quiet revolution in the nuclear power industry is shifting focus to small modular reactors (SMRs). These reactors promise cheaper, flexible energy at a fraction of traditional nuclear plant costs.
