Woo! 3 for 3 baby! Today, the @USNavy selected Radiant to power critical infrastructure at Crane. There is not an organization in the world with more experience in nuclear power than the U.S. Navy. We are honored to be selected by the U.S. Navy for this important work and we thank the Navy and the Army’s Dr. Waksman for their confidence in Radiant to deliver reliable, resilient nuclear power wherever their mission demands.
Our mission of Atoms for Prosperity is today strengthened by the support of the Navy and the State of Indiana. LET’S BUILD REACTORS!

The @USNavy has selected Radiant to deploy our Kaleidos microreactor at Naval Weapons Station Crane, Indiana.
With this selection, Radiant is now the only nuclear microreactor company with partnerships across the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The Navy has more than 70 years of safe reactor operations. It wrote the playbook on reactor safety. Earning its confidence is powerful independent validation of Kaleidos.
This milestone moves us closer to our goal: reliable, resilient nuclear power wherever the mission demands. Through our work with all three branches, we’re building a clear path from military deployment to nuclear energy at scale for government and commercial customers.

We have the opportunity to shape energy resilience for generations to come and rebuild an entire industry. That's what I discuss with Align Ventures in my recent conversation with @GreerLove. LET'S BUILD REACTORS!

Our President and COO @torishiv sat down with Align Venture Partner @greerlove to talk about what's driving demand for microreactors, how Radiant is bringing them to market, and why Align chose to invest in Radiant. Watch the full conversation here:

Reactors need fuel. Centrus can make fuel today. We have customers that really want reactors. So, we bought fuel. A lot of it.
From Day 1, we've approached fuel as a core part of the Kaleidos product strategy. Establishing a long term partnership with a prized American institution was a natural next step in creating a strategic advantage for our customers. That's what it takes to scale nuclear.
Thank you to Amir Vexler and the @centrus_energy team for partnering with us to create a more radiant future with safe, sovereign energy.

Today, we're announcing a long-term partnership with @centrus_energy to supply HALEU for our Kaleidos fleet, adding another domestic source of fuel to support our commercial and military deployments.
Scaling advanced nuclear takes fuel, manufacturing capacity, and a supplier ecosystem that can move with you. We have all three.

It was an honor to speak on behalf of our amazing and committed team at Radiant. Thank you to all @USArmy and @DIU_x folks who were both visionary and tireless in making this program a reality. I am excited to build together.

The Army sees what I see. That our team is ready to build. And build a better more resilient America, we will. The US Military is the largest purchaser of energy in the world. Awarding Radiant $750M to deploy 15 reactors beginning in 2028 is a huge vote of confidence in our product, manufacturing capabilities, and our team.
Thank you @Waksman84 and @OwenWest91 for your leadership. We are looking forward to working with @DIU_x @USArmy

The @USArmy has awarded Radiant $750 million to deliver 15 Kaleidos microreactors through the Janus program, one of the largest contracts @DIU_x has issued to date.
The Army launched the Janus Program to strengthen the energy resilience of military installations and mission-critical infrastructure. Radiant was chosen after extensive evaluation of reactor design, technical maturity, manufacturing readiness, deployment strategy, and commercial viability. Radiant’s 15 microreactors will enable the Army to deploy nuclear power across multiple locations. In tandem, the operational data acquired through the Program will accelerate commercial deployments across a global footprint of commercial customers.

Turning on Kaleidos is a team effort. But not just our team. The team at @standardnuclear has been grinding to get our second shipment on the road. The team at @INL have been pushing beside us and @ENERGY leadership has enabled us all to turn on the first full power reactor demonstration.

Fuel out the door for our partners at @Radiant.
TRISO from Standard Nuclear, loaded and en route. 🇺🇸
Proud of our teams! Thank you @kterrani and @standardnuclear 💪
Radiant Locks TRISO Fuel Supply Through Early 2030s. @standardnuclear agreement strengthens Radiant’s fully owned end-to-end supply chain and secures planned Kaleidos deployments through the early 2030s.

Sometimes when a star dies, it leaves some energy behind. Our nuclear fuel is a 5 billion year old gift from the milky way. This brings new meaning to the phrase "Thank your lucky stars!"

When we were selected for the DOME, it was a competitive process that pitted us against 40+ companies. We competed 3 times. FEEED, DEEP, and final selection. We were chosen for the maturity of our product and our path to commercialization. That vision we build for at Radiant is not on the horizon, it’s driving down the 395. Kaleidos is transportable and on the way to the DOME!

Kaleidos wasn’t built as a concept. Our team has been ruthlessly focused on our customers. We designed and built around their needs. They want power to be easy. Deliver it to their site. Plug it in. Simple. Our first delivery is in 2028.

In 2020, when @DougBernauer founded Radiant, he said we’d have a reactor testing at the DOME in 2026. Promise kept.
Kaleidos has left the building!
Our transportable microreactor is on its way to @INL's DOME facility, where it will begin full-scale testing.
Over the coming months, we'll validate commercial performance through a full-scale, full-power extended-duration testing program that progresses in 5 phases:
-Install and fuel Kaleidos
-Reach zero-power criticality
-Sustain 1MW thermal operation
-Full-temperature and full-power operation
-150-hours continuous operation
In 2020, our CEO @DougBernauer said we’d have a reactor at the DOME in 2026 - and we will!

pardon the phone smudges, i was just too excited. It was a legendary night at Radiant, celebrating a legendary team. I am proud and grateful of each and every person who was a part of getting us here.

Look, it's a reactor on a truck!
I'll Venmo 5 bucks to the first person who can guess what this is

At Radiant we ask ourselves a lot of questions, like what does it mean to move Beyond Prosperity?
Thank you @a16z and @bnslevin for capturing our teams work so beautifully.
Radiant: Beyond Prosperity
Mass-produced microreactors mean nuclear power anywhere. Behind the supermarket, on a military base, and eventually beyond the star we were born at. Radiant is building them.

Factory foundation complete! Finished the pour on the final concrete slab for our R-50 fresh fueling facility last night. 8 days! This is where we'll fuel Kaleidos - because customers want fuel handled at the factory - not on their site.
And that's not the only milestone moving fast. @NRCgov has accelerated review of our Part 70 license for fuel use. Speed like that isn't luck - it's the result of a team that built the case and earned it.
