@IanRountree@IanRountree Correct, the new steam generator enables a redesign of the nuclear island to be over an order of magnitude smaller. This will affect the civil structures hosting it
.@ApolloAtomics builds the most compact nuclear reactors with the highest uptime and a deployment time of less than 24 months.
Apollo took the pressurized water reactor technology that already powers 80% of the world’s nuclear plants and flipped one part, the steam generator, to make the plant an order of magnitude smaller without compromising power.
Congrats on the launch, @AssilHalimi & Drew!

Great to meet Sam today at @ycombinator offices, we talked about AI, energy infrastructure bottlenecks, LCOE, and the role of AI in nuclear deployment ⚛️
Excited to announce our reactor demonstration tests at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the work focuses on reliable long term operation and two phase flow behavior opening doors to what I like to call the PWR 2.0 ⚡

We’re pleased to see this coordinated federal support framework for advancing nuclear power in space. At BWXT, we’re excited to be part of this momentum. Expanding America’s space nuclear capabilities is key to enabling national security missions and making a sustained presence on the Moon, Mars and beyond a reality.

Great to be at @TAMU last week! I had the chance to tour their labs and get hosted by Professor Yassin Hassan and the Department of Nuclear Engineering to give a seminar on advanced nuclear and how Apollo Atomics, Inc. is building the next generation of reactors ⚡
Great meeting @PhilipJohnston and the founding team from @Starcloud_ at YC offices today. Philip convinced me a few weeks ago that YC is the next best step for Apollo Atomics and it has been a truly transformative journey since then!
