Deploy approximately 1-megawatt transportable microreactors wherever reliable off-grid power is needed.

a16z — The Nuclear Renaissance - Radiant |  a16z American Dynamism

Provide compact nuclear power units that fit in a few parking spaces, operate for 5 years, and can be removed when the customer no longer needs them.

Problem: Aging grid infrastructure, unreliable electricity, site-construction uncertainty, and the lack of power in locations without grid access.

For: Businesses, data centers, cities, national-security users, and operators in remote or off-grid locations.

Examples

  • Data centers
  • Small cities
  • Remote national-security deployments
  • Space missions

Energy and compute infrastructure for AI

20VC with Harry Stebbings — Leo Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness Blows Up | Moonshot AI Raises $3.5B at $35B

Provide electricity, nuclear power, energy conversion, land, permits, or data-center capacity to satisfy AI compute demand.

Problem: AI demand is constrained by access to compute and energy.

For: Hyperscalers and AI infrastructure companies.

Examples

  • Valor Atomic
  • Chicken manure-to-methane projects
  • Small modular reactors
