PRODUCT, SERVICE OFFERINGS AND MARKETS
PBMR is a multiproduct enterprise that can access several markets and leverages its attractiveness in both electricity and process heat markets.
PBMR’s business case currently assumes that revenues generated from fuel sales and support services will be directly related to the number of PBMR reactors successfully sold, commissioned and in operation worldwide.
INTELLECTUAL AND HUMAN CAPITAL
PBMR has been proactively building capacity during the past few years and is proud of its accomplishment in both intellectual and human capital.
In terms of intellectual property, PBMR aims to keep a balance between trade secrets and registered patents in managing its intellectual capital. This is consistent with the approach of the main nuclear companies globally. Patents will be secured if there are key elements in reactor systems, engineering and operating reactors; fuel and waste processing; and probably digital control of reactor systems. PBMR values its human capital. The following diagram depicts the company’s employee qualifications.
