About Radiant

Radiant is an El Segundo CA-based startup building the worlds first mass-produced portable nuclear microreactors. The companys first reactor Kaleidos is a 1-megawatt fail-safe microreactor that can be transported anywhere power is needed and run for up to 5 years without refueling. Portable nuclear power with rapid-deploy capability can replace similar-sized diesel generators and provide critical asset support for hospitals data centers remote sites and military bases. Radiants unique practical approach to nuclear development leverages modern software engineering to rapidly deliver safe factory-built microreactors that use existing well-qualified materials. Founded in 2020 Radiant is on track to test its first reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory this summer with initial customer deliveries beginning in 2028.
