Mass-produced portable nuclear microreactors for remote power deployment
Radiant is building portable 1 MW nuclear microreactors (Kaleidos) designed for deployment where grid power is unavailable. The tech stack—heavy on simulation (ANSYS, PLECS, PSCAD, CFD workflows), CAD (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, Fusion 360), and embedded systems (C/C++, Rust, FPGA)—reflects a hardware-first engineering organization tackling extreme thermal and structural design challenges. Active hiring skews 68% senior engineers, signaling aggressive scale toward 2026 testing and 2028 customer deployments.
Notable leadership hires: Technical Lead, Chief of Staff, Regulatory Affairs Director
Radiant designs and manufactures portable nuclear microreactors targeting remote industrial and critical infrastructure sites. The company's first product, Kaleidos, is a 1 MW failsafe unit engineered for transport and rapid deployment. Founded in 2020, Radiant is currently in the design and simulation phase, with first-reactor testing planned for 2026 and customer shipments expected in 2028. The organization operates from El Segundo, California with 51–200 employees, predominantly focused on reactor engineering, simulation, and regulatory pathway work.
Kaleidos, a 1 MW portable microreactor designed to be failsafe and transportable to remote locations where grid power is unavailable.
Radiant plans to test Kaleidos in 2026, with initial customer deployments beginning in 2028.
Radiant's stack includes ANSYS and PLECS for simulation, NX and CATIA for CAD design, C/C++, Rust, and FPGA development for controls, and Kubernetes/Docker for infrastructure.
