under construction and is set to become the world leader in terms of energy produced by nuclear energy.While China's nuclear power plants use conventional technology, Radiant Industries is building smaller nuclear reactors that could be deployed even in the remotest locations on the planet and cater to energy needs, whether for military or civilian purposes.
Under a federal program, Radiant has been working with Idaho National Laboratory and the Argonne National Laboratory to use their expertise into improving its product. Since the TRISO particles need to be refueled only once in five years, the reactor can be deployed at remote locations, which have not been connected to the grid and might be dependent on fossil fuels for energy needs.
For now, the company just intends to focus on the engineering of the reactor and seek regulatory approval for its designs and technology.
