Apollo Atomics Advances Nuclear Power Cost Reduction Through Compact Steam Generator Design
Apollo Atomics is developing a compact steam generator for nuclear reactors, enabling 40-times smaller reactor designs and reducing costs by 80-90% through factory-based manufacturing. The technology, based on MIT research, aims to produce electricity at 3 cents per kWh, targeting cost competitiveness with natural gas.
Y Combinator alumnus Apollo Atomics is shrinking a key nuclear reactor part, which promises to slash the cost of electricity below natural gas.
