We’re once again grateful for DOE-Idaho's continued collaboration as we take another important step forward throughout the critical process of safety design and review. We're pleased to announce our completion and approval of the Conceptual Design Review of Kaleidos Microreactor in the National Reactor Innovation Center | NRIC Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (NRIC-DOME) test bed. Completing the Conceptual Design Review is a major step in Radiant’s journey, moving us significantly closer to a fueled test and entry of Kaleidos into licensing and commercial service.
This is an exciting year for Radiant, as Kaleidos makes tremendous strides toward our goal of testing the first new reactor design in more than 50 years, bringing Kaleidos closer to commercial reality. Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far!

Sometimes winning a Govt contract isn't about the money. It's more strategic.
This unique program led by Idaho National Lab moves Radiant to the front of the line to test their Kaleidos Microreactor in the DOME in 2026. It will provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) with the real, actual performance data that they need to license Kaleidos for commercial deployment.
"This is an exciting year for Radiant, as Kaleidos makes tremendous strides toward our goal of testing the first new reactor design in more than 50 years, bringing Kaleidos closer to commercial reality.” - Doug Bernauer, CEO
Background:
Radiant is a clean energy startup building a nuclear microreactor. A climate-friendly alternative to diesel generators, Radiant's Kaleidos 1 MW microreactor will be the world's first portable, zero-emissions power source that works anywhere. Our goal is to test our development reactor by 2026 and if successful, it will be the first new commercial reactor design to achieve a fueled test in over 50 years. Our microreactor can bring power to remote parts of the world and provide backup or primary power for life-saving applications in hospitals or disaster-relief scenarios.

IN-REACTOR CREEP OF ZIRCONIUM ALLOYS - A.N.T. International Report
In this Report we have attempted to summarize data and mechanisms by addressing the variables that are known to affect irradiation creep. A number of conclusions are reached which give insight into the uses of creep data, mechanisms and models to assess in-service performance of reactor components.

Are you interested to know more about the progress of the research on molten salt reactors? Please join us at the 9th annual molten salt reactor workshop at Oak Ridge National Laboratory on 25-26 OCT 2023. See details below.
🌪 Learn more about the success of our recent Helium Circulator Loop test campaign!🌪
The circulator is the component that moves helium through the core of Kaleidos. Multiple tests at operational temperature and pressure verified its performance, and the data collected will inform our Digital Twin and detailed Kaleidos design. A big win for the Thermomechanical team!

Recently conducted a head-to-head test of active and passive dosimeters for a nuclear power plant and found interesting results on the electronic personnel dosimeters (EPDs). The DMC2000S had a small -2% bias compared to the delivered Hp(10) dose, while the DMC3000 and DMC3000 with telemetry had a positive average bias of approximately +8%. Customized bias adjustments may be necessary for the DMC3000 to improve comparisons between the active and passive dosimeters since it was noted that the bias for these detectors ranged from -2% to +18%.
Replicate testing of the active dosimeters found the detectors to be consistent with %CV of repeated measurements less than 1%.
It appears that the detectors are very consistent but customized bias adjustments might be needed for the DMC3000 to improve comparisons between the active and passive dosimeters to arrive at accurate person-rem estimates.
Have you had any similar experiences with DMC3000 active dosimeters?

🌐Second International Workshop on Medical Radioisotopes Supply 🌐
OECD Nuclear Energy Agency is co-organising the 2nd edition of International Workshop on Medical Radioisotopes Supply with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).
The workshop will gather governmental decision makers, private sector representatives, health organisations and researchers to chart the development of secure supply chains for conventional and innovative #nuclear radioisotopes in the medical field.
🔍Key topics include:
🔬 The role of Lutetium-177 (177Lu), Actinium-225 (225Ac) and other innovative radioisotopes
🔄 Strengthening supply chain resiliency through supply and demand monitoring
🏥 Critical infrastructure needs across medical systems
📅 When: 24 - 25 October 2024
📍 Where: Paris, France
