Curio (formally Curio Legacy Ventures, Inc.) is a nuclear technology company headquartered in Washington, DC and led by former U.S. Department of Energy nuclear-nonproliferation executive Ed McGinnis. The company is commercializing NuCycle®, a proprietary spent nuclear-fuel recycling process designed from the ground up with proliferation-hardening built in.
NuCycle aims to reduce residual high-level waste volumes by up to 97% while recovering uranium, transuranics, noble gases, and platinum-group metals that can be re-manufactured into fuel for advanced reactors. Curio is pursuing a commercial 4,000-tonne recycling facility and has signed Cooperative Research and Development Agreements with Idaho, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest and Sandia national laboratories.
