El Segundo Company To Deploy Nuclear Microreactors
Radiant Industries, an El Segundo-based nuclear microreactor developer, has been awarded a $750 million contract by the US Army to deploy 15 of its microreactors at military installations and for other critical national security missions. The contract is part of the Army’s Janus program, which aims to strengthen energy resilience. Radiant’s microreactors, called Kaleidos, can generate 1 megawatt of electricity and are designed to provide up to five years of power before refueling. This development was first reported by the Los Angeles Business Journal.
