This is finally happening! Kudos to Jeff for his years of work in this area, championing the nuclear micro military cause!!!
BREAKING: The US Army will be building multiple nuclear microreactors at its installations, to provide energy resilience for our soldiers and their families. No more just talking about nuclear. We are going to build real hardware. https://t.co/9nNdvZTzKB

Adam Draper and BoostVC are the real deal....met him super early on in the Radiant story, he has remained just as engaged for over 5 years now!
We are proud to announce our fundraise for @BoostVC Fund 4. I'm partnered with amazing people who are all aligned on making Sci-Fi a reality! @BraytonKey and @MaddieCallander! One step closer. Coffers are filled. Now need to deploy into legends.

We're honored to have been selected as a member of the Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program, and look forward to making history next year when we turn on our reactor!

Rep. Eric Burlison - It was excellent to meet you, I appreciated your support, enthusiasm, and thorough questions! American Nuclear reactors are ready for a comeback. We're staying hard at work here to build easier to regulate and reliable portable reactors!
Last week’s @GOPoversight visits in California were simply incredible. American energy. Precision manufacturing. World-class innovation. Our job? Cut the red tape and let them lead.

America invented the nuclear industry, but it’s been stuck in a rut for decades. Next year, when @Radiant flips the switch on the first new design of a U.S. reactor in 50 years, it’s more than just a new innovation – or the dawn of a new nuclear age – it's the resumption of

Feast your eyes on two metric tons of West Virginia graphite that will be slowing down neutrons in our first nuclear reactor by next year! Baked at over 2500C by Amsted Graphite Materials, it’s the first reactor order of American-made, nuclear-grade, graphite in over a decade.

This is an excellent graphic! All of the points being made are also true of SMR's micro - sized relative, the portable microreactor (1MW), but add that you can deploy a new one over a weekend!
Having a resilient and secure grid matters—and it’s why we need power systems like small modular reactors that will be able to adapt, withstand, and recover from extreme weather events in addition to cyber and physical attacks. ▶️: https://t.co/5fiosRCNJh

Ski resorts are on low reliability areas of the electric grid and use backup generators to avoid stranding skiers. As soon as 2029, a resilient nuclear microreactor could carry you back up the hill, on a reliable and clean microgrid keeping the mountain air 100% fresh!⛷️🏂

Cut the millions of strings of negative regulations to free the giant that is America!
Elon Musk: Irrational regulations are an invisible tax on humanity. “You really can think of the United States and many countries – it's arguably worse in the EU – as being like Gulliver, tied down by a million little strings. Any one given regulation is not that bad, but

Unless addressed, the U.S. Govt will add over $6.4 billion of debt every day for the next ten years, borrowing over $268 million every hour, $4.5 million every minute and $74,401 every second. Total debt stands at $36.2 trillion and this year, interest payments exceeded $1

Electric power generation in the US grew exponentially from 1950-1974, became linear 1970-2007, then flattened, with almost no increase in the last 17 years. Power creates Prosperity, the United States must grow again. Chart make you smart->

Physical AI's hardest problem isn't what the robot sees. It's how multiple agents maintain shared understanding when reality constantly changes. Vision, control, planning all at variable rates & transacting against the same world while objects shift and sensors occlude. 🧵

Kaleidos is a 1MW gas cooled portable microreactor Radiant will mass produce. There are nearly 10 tons of graphite in a hefty stainless steel pressure vessel. Is it hard to build these quickly? No. See for yourself in a timelapse of our full scale passive cooling demo unit!
