WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Curio®, a leader in advanced nuclear recycling technologies, announced today a strategic partnership with Infinity Power, an emerging innovator in radioisotope power systems, to advance the use of high-energy isotopes such as Strontium-90 (Sr-90) for scalable clean-energy applications.

The collaboration and offtake agreement seeks to reduce the volume of high-level waste (HLW) remaining after nuclear fuel recycling while unlocking environmentally sound and economically efficient pathways for its disposition. By harnessing obscure isotopes typically regarded as waste, Curio and Infinity Power aim to transform nuclear by-products into reliable sources of sustainable power.

“This partnership embodies Curio’s commitment to work with multiple industry partners seeking to realize the full potential of nuclear power,” said Ed McGinnis, CEO of Curio. “By working with pioneers like Infinity Power to convert so-called ‘waste’ into high-value energy solutions, we are ushering in The 2nd Nuclear Era®, one defined by innovation, sustainability, and prosperity for humanity.”

As recently reported, Infinity Power has developed a new, powerful, scalable and long-lasting radioisotope power source technology that harvests decay energy of Nickel-63 (Ni-63) with over 60% efficiency – the highest level of overall efficiency ever achieved. Now, the company plans to procure relevant quantities of Sr-90 derived from Curio’s NuCycle® nuclear fuel recycling process. Together, the partners will develop and demonstrate larger-scale power systems, showcasing the potential for radioisotope-based power systems to support remote, resilient, and off-grid energy needs.

“Curio’s NuCycle fuel recycling process promises to be an excellent source of radioisotopes like strontium-90, and we look forward to working with them to create highly efficient and innovative nuclear-power systems without water consumptions and thermal pollutions,” said Dr. Jae W. Kwon, Founder and CEO of Infinity Power. “Together, we will widely impact the energy sectors while helping the world manage our nuclear waste problems.”
