Industry Accomplishment

Radiant Industries, Incorporated, a leading developer of nuclear microreactors, is excited to announce the successful completion of a crucial passive cooldown demonstration of its Kaleidos system.

The potential of microreactor solutions as clean on-site backup power and supplemental power sources for other renewable technologies such as solar and wind can potentially make those more traditional renewables a better solution for data center power.

The industry’s first comprehensive rules for floating nuclear power plants have been unveiled by American Bureau of Shipping at a forum for nuclear industry leaders held jointly with Idaho National Laboratory.

Oklo, a nuclear startup backed by Sam Altman, has received approval from the Department of Energy to begin site investigation work for its planned microreactor at the Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho Falls.

A scan of multiple announcements by companies developing microreactors, e.g., less than 20 MW of electrical generation capacity, shows that nine of them, so far, have developed or are in the process of developing arrangements with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to test their designs and, for some, also the fuels for their reactors.

The world is turning to new forms of electricity to try to slow the overheating of the planet, and one U.S. company is marking another first in the nuclear power industry.

Nuclear power company Oklo has finalised a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to conduct site inspections for its planned nuclear reactor in Idaho.

Nuclear startup Oklo is moving closer to initial construction of its first commercial microreactor, CEO Jacob DeWitte told CNBC in an interview.

Westinghouse Electric Company has completed the front-end engineering and experiment design (FEEED) for a prototype microreactor at Idaho National Laboratory, the Department of Energy recently announced.

Microreactor developer Aalo Atomics and municipal electric utility Idaho Falls Power have developed a memorandum of understanding that could lead to the siting of seven sodium-cooled microreactors and a power purchase agreement for Idaho Falls.
