About
Apollo Atomics is an MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering spinoff redesigning the largest component of a conventional pressurized water reactor - the steam generator - into a person-sized Compact Steam Generator, shrinking overall reactor footprint by roughly 40x. It is developing three factory-built, truck-transportable systems (10 MW A-10, 50 MW A-50, 300 MW A-300) deployable in under 24 months, using existing NRC-licensed commercial-grade fuel and supply chains rather than novel reactor technology. Target customers are data center operators, industrial offtakers, and utilities, aiming for roughly 3 cents per kWh.
