Apollo Atomics Aims to Cut Nuclear Power Costs by Shrinking Reactor Component

Y Combinator alumnus Apollo Atomics is developing a smaller version of a key nuclear reactor part, a move that could dramatically lower the cost of nuclear electricity. The company claims that this innovation will bring nuclear power’s price below that of natural gas, potentially making it a more competitive option for power generation. By targeting a previously overlooked component, Apollo Atomics seeks to streamline reactor design and reduce production and operational expenses, positioning nuclear energy as a more affordable clean power source.
