Imagine a clean energy source that fits in a shipping container, powers a small town, and doesn’t need refueling for years. That’s exactly what a team of former SpaceX engineers is building—and it might just change how we use nuclear power on Earth.
Their startup, Radiant, is working on a portable nuclear microreactor. It’s lightweight, affordable, and designed to deliver power even in the most remote corners of the planet. This kind of energy tech was originally imagined for future Mars missions, but now it’s being adapted for real-world use right here on Earth.
