Founded in 2005 by Greg Piefer, SHINE is exploring commercial applications of nuclear fusion technology as part of its pursuit of an innovative, deliberate pathway to clean, abundant fusion-based energy production. Piefer believes that fusion energy should become the world’s primary source of power in order for humanity to continue its growth and industrial development.
Our pursuit of the sustainable development of and long-term goals for clean energy, nuclear waste recycling, and enhanced access to diagnostic and therapeutic isotopes is grounded in profoundly improving humankind and the planet, starting in our local communities. We believe in bringing new and diverse voices into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields and the nuclear industry, creating new jobs in our home communities, and bringing new solutions based on innovative nuclear technology to the world.
