Portable Nuclear Microreactor
A compact nuclear reactor with all equipment necessary to generate electricity in a mass producible and easily transportable package. Replacing diesel generators in remote villages and providing resilient backup power for hospitals, datacenters, and military installations. Requiring zero on site water use by leveraging fans for air cooling, Kaleidos can operate anywhere. Requiring zero on site water use by leveraging fans for air cooling, Kaleidos can operate anywhere. High speed turbomachinery operates efficiently from 30% to 100% power or 1.2MW electric, enabling resilient microgrids. Requiring zero on site water use by leveraging fans for air cooling, Kaleidos can operate anywhere High speed turbomachinery operates efficiently from 30% to 100% power or 1.2MW electric, enabling resilient microgrids While generating electricity, Kaleidos also can provide 1.9 MW of thermal power for facility heating or water desalination.
Helium gas transfers heat from the core and does not become radioactive, eliminating the impact of leaks. An air jacket cools the core passively through natural convection, simplifying regulatory approval. Meltdown-proof TRISO fuel, ceramic coated uranium particles, have been used in more than 30 grid-scale reactors since the 1960s. Kaleidos are assembled, fueled, and tested in the factory for streamlined deployment
Over 110 times the energy density of existing diesel systems.
No site excavation is required, Kaleidos is lowered from the truck and achieves full power the next day.
Clean electricity and heat continuously adjust to match power demand during the day and night, enhancing existing renewables infrastructure, such as solar or wind power.
Hundreds of units can autonomously operate with data streaming back to Radiant’s centralized 24/7 fleet monitoring system tracking the health of each reactor.
No nuclear waste or infrastructure remain on the site
After 5 or more years of operation the fuel is depleted, and the entire container can be shipped back for refueling
Back at the factory, Kaleidos can be fueled a total of 4 times for a 20-year product lifetime
Customers can purchase through either Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or direct unit sales
