Radiant Industries is developing portable nuclear microreactors to provide clean, reliable power as an alternative to diesel generators. Founded in 2019 by former SpaceX engineers, including CEO Doug Bernauer, the company leverages proven nuclear technologies and modern engineering techniques to build a 1 MW reactor called Kaleidos that fits in a shipping container for rapid deployment.

With $54 million raised from top investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Founders Fund, plus $2.3 million in government awards, Radiant is accelerating development to achieve a fueled prototype test by 2026 and deliver its first commercial units by 2028. Key milestones include a passive cooling test in 2024 and becoming the first new reactor design to reach fueled testing in 50 years.

By joining Radiant's growing team of 100 aerospace, software, and nuclear engineering experts, employees have the rare opportunity to transform the nuclear industry and help communities transition off fossil fuels. However, the company must still overcome complex regulatory hurdles and establish robust supply chains to achieve its bold vision of mass producing fail-safe reactors.
