Born with a contrarian view, Lux founded and funded Kurion alongside a team of extraordinary industry talent to solve the single biggest known—but neglected problem—in energy and environment. Just one year after Lux led the company's seed financing, Kurion won a transformative contract from TEPCO to use its advanced technology for the Fukushima nuclear plant cleanup. The Kurion system has been successfully working to remove more than 99% of the radioactivity from contaminated water, helping to avert a nuclear meltdown.
