Did you catch that?! Just today, five minutes into Tesla's "We, Robot" event, Elon Musk casually dropped 'El Segundo.' 👀 Coincidence? We think not. After all, El Segundo is home to the original SpaceX's headquarters at 1310 E. Grand Ave. Just another reminder that when it comes to groundbreaking innovation, El Segundo is always in the spotlight. #WhereBigIdeasTakeOff 🎥: https://lnkd.in/gJ8FQpsH

Congratulations to the Radiant team on your incredible achievement! 🇺🇸💡We’re proud to have companies like Radiant leading the future of clean energy right here in our city. #WhereBigIdeasTakeOff #ElSegundoInnovation #NuclearEnergy #CleanTech
Just 10 days ago, the Radiant team successfully completed our passive cooldown demonstration with a full-scale, non-nuclear prototype of our Kaleidos reactor! When raising our Series B, we set the goal of completing this test by Q3 2024 and our team crushed it! - Electric heaters applied up to 130kW to heat over 10 tons of steel and precision machined graphite. - Over 300 channels of instrumentation collected temperature, pressure, and flow data. - 12 valves opened upon being commanded to shutdown to allow air to flow and cool the pressure vessel via natural convection. - The test was performed at over 420 °C and the vessel took about 30 hours to return to ambient temperature. - Initial comparison against our thermal models shows that cooling is sufficient with the current design! Thank you to Brian Smith and Eric Wesley for your opening remarks, to the National Reactor Innovation Center | NRIC team for their continued support as we work towards a fueled test in the Idaho National Laboratory DOME facility, and to everyone who was able to join us in witnessing this milestone! Further planned testing will fully investigate fault tolerance and combination stress cases to make a high reliability reactor product.
