What is the difference between fission and fusion? Recently both phenomenas have had exciting developments. Fission has been commercially available since the mid 1950s and is leading the nuclear renaissance for data center expansions On the other hand, fusion is projected to be commercially viable between the 2030-2050s. It is largely uncertain because of a wide range of factors including regulatory environment, development costs, and overall engineering complexity The process of fission is well understood where uranium or other fissile materials are exposed to neutrons which cause the splitting of the reactive fuel. This splitting causes further neutrons to split other uranium nuclei to sustain a chain reaction. This reaction releases heat which then is converted into electricity Fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine to form a heavier single nucleus which releases a significant amount of energy. The challenge with fusion is the extremely high temperatures and pressures required to sustain a reaction. With temperatures of at least 100 million degrees celsius and pressures 10 times stronger than earth’s atmosphere, operating in these conditions requires robust engineering systems We at Hadron Energy are excited to be at the forefront of the clean energy revolution! #innovation #energy #nuclear #technology #future #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #sustainability #leanstartups #management #leadership

Cheap electricity is fundamental to society—and fusion has a meaningful role to play. I talked to Bill Gates on the hope and possibility for fusion, how it differs from fission, and why our water shortage problem is actually in fact a cheap electricity problem.

We are proud to share the successful launch of the new Hadron Energy website! Within days of launching we've received amazing feedback and support. It demonstrates how versatile microreactor can be in varying environments Nearly 2,000 visits in the first couple days demonstrate the interest in this first of a kind technology. We are appreciative of our supportive community and look forward to continually push the boundaries in clean energy! robert sukhudyan, Landon Allen, Shlomo Hikri, Samuel Gibson #innovation #energy #nuclear #technology #future #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #sustainability #leanstartups #management #leadership https://lnkd.in/g-UJH2BZ

Let the nuclear renaissance commence! The Nuclear Energy Institute recently shared insights about companies involved in advanced reactors, utilities, construction, and fueling have greatly increased in value Big tech companies are placing big bets on nuclear meeting their energy needs. Hyperscalers, remote communities, industrial complexes, military installations, and more are all interested in the clean energy source! #innovation #energy #nuclear #technology #future #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #sustainability #leanstartups #management #leadership

After 3 months of designing and developing, we are proud to share the official Hadron Energy website is live! What started as a humble reactor drawing back in July has been brought to life and can now be viewed on our website As you scroll down on the website, you will notice the Hadron Energy micro modular reactor assembly come to life in different environments. Similarly the newsletter, which now has over 2,000 subscribers, can be found towards the bottom of the website under "Latest Stories." You may sign up by interacting with the stories Most importantly, we have a section for you to get involved with our team. By selecting: Interested Partners, Prospective Investor, Careers, or Press you will be connected with one of our Hadron Energy team members. Additionally, posted careers will direct candidates to the application process! #innovation #energy #nuclear #technology #future #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #sustainability #leanstartups #management #leadership hadronenergy.com

What an eventful week! As TechCrunch Disrupt wraps up, the Hadron Energy team was able to connect with many thought provoking people in venture capital, engineering, tech, and more We had the opportunity to hear Ashton Kutcher's perspective on varying topics. One message that resonated with me was: "Knowing your numbers is like knowing your business." When talking with anyone about your business, particularly investors, the numbers are truly what matters Another great point I enjoyed was people rarely invest in the pitch deck, rather, they invest in the team behind the company. It was great meeting with many investors, talking with engineers, and building up our network Special thanks to Shlomo Hikri, John Khazraee, and Landon Allen for attending with me! We look forward to continue to push the boundaries in clean energy technology at Hadron Energy #innovation #energy #nuclear #technology #future #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #sustainability #leanstartups #management #leadership

Amazon Web Services (AWS) posts soaring quarterly profits as their cloud business unit expands. Share prices are up 12% from one year ago, I am confident cloud based services will continue to grow their market presence around the world How will they be able to continually scale? With scalable energy to meet their newly found demand. Small data centers can consume anywhere from 1-5 megawatts of electricity, while larger scale data centers are at the 20-100+ megawatt size Hadron Energy is building scalable energy units that can quickly be manufactured to meet unprecedented demand. With tech giants such as Amazon, Google, Oracle, and more beginning to make commitments, we are at a pivotal moment for nuclear energy Follow Hadron Energy for upcoming exciting announcements! #innovation #energy #nuclear #technology #future #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #sustainability #leanstartups #management #leadership

“Entrepreneurs invent the future they want” It was an honor to see Vinod Khosla in action at TechCrunch's Disrupt! Vinod is a great inspiration to me given his wide success as an engineer, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist at Khosla Ventures Learning about his career early in my college days enabled me to analyze his successes given his engineering background. Seeing him in person brought everything full circle! It's refreshing to see he is very passionate about clean energy and AI One of his particular interests is fusion energy and Vinod suggests it will be ready in under 5 years. Seeing as fission is ready today, I am eager to see when fusion will be ready Follow along at Hadron Energy for the latest in fission developments! #innovation #energy #nuclear #technology #future #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #sustainability #leanstartups #management #leadership

Day 1 at TechCrunch's Disrupt: Hadron Energy met with Google Cloud, available globally in 40 regions and 121 zones. Google's continual data center expansion and recent commitments to nuclear energy make for exciting conversations With a 23% compound growth rate for new data centers through 2030, there are great opportunities to provide 100% clean energy solutions for these new facilities. Companies like Google are already making commitments to nuclear energy given the vast benefits As a leader in technology, Google will inspire others to further adopt small & micro modular reactors. At Hadron Energy we are eager to help meet the demand of clean electricity needs! #innovation #energy #nuclear #technology #future #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #sustainability #leanstartups #management #leadership
