Nuclear tech company to locate research center in New Mexico

  A California-based nuclear energy technology company has chosen New Mexico’s largest city as its home for a new engineering center to support the development of its reactor technology. Kairos Power LLC plans to take up residence at a master planned community on the southern edge of Albuquerque. State economic development officials say the company will invest up to $125 million on the campus and create more than 65 high-paying jobs over the next few years. The state and city of Albuquerque also have proposed pitching in millions of dollars in economic development funding for the project.
