About Corium
The nuclear industry is moving fast. The regulatory record is public. No one was reading it closely enough.
The gap between hype and the docket.
Advanced reactor developers make a lot of announcements. Press releases, partnerships, PowerPoint decks, congressional testimony. Most of it is directionally true but temporally vague — designed to signal progress without committing to a schedule the NRC controls.
The actual progress — the filings, the review milestones, the RAI responses, the staff evaluations — lives in ADAMS, the NRC's public document management system. It's all there, dense and spread across hundreds of dockets. Corium is what I wished I could have found.
One person. No investors. No agenda.
My name is Kam. I'm a mechanical engineer who spent five years at Idaho National Laboratory — close enough to the work to understand how complex and consequential this industry actually is.
I built Corium because I kept looking for something like it and it didn't exist. The data was always there. It just needed someone to read it.
No investors. No affiliations. No financial position in any company tracked here.

Corium.
Corium is the molten mixture of nuclear fuel and structural materials formed during a reactor meltdown — one of the most extreme substances in existence. Extremely hot. Extremely dense. Nearly impossible to stop once it starts moving.
The nuclear industry has had a meltdown of information for decades — regulatory filings buried in government databases, licensing timelines opaque to everyone outside the process, capital flowing into companies most people can't evaluate. Named for that meltdown. Built to clean it up.
A structured read of the public record.
Tracks every company with NRC filings, monitors dockets in ADAMS, and translates regulatory milestones into the Circuit framework. The Corium Score measures documented regulatory activity — not likelihood of commercial success.
Not a rating. Not a recommendation.
Not investment research. Regulatory progress and commercial success are related but not equivalent. Not exhaustive — the NRC is not the only regulator that matters. If I've made a factual error, use the form below.

If you work in the industry and think I've gotten something wrong — I genuinely want to hear it. Journalists, analysts, investors, tips on companies to track — all welcome.
