Radiant's Tori Shivanandan: "Electrons are to Space Force what jet fuel is to the Air Force." @torishiv, President and COO of @RadiantNuclear, on the reason America lost the ability to iterate on nuclear and the reactor going to Buckley Space Force Base 18 months from now. 00:52 "Digging the hole is where you lose control of cost and timeline, so Radiant put a one-megawatt reactor in a box that comes back to the factory for refueling" 04:26 "Radiant was founded to colonize Mars but pivoted to Earth after realizing the American grid is broken and behind-the-meter power is the fix" 06:34 "45% of Americans experienced at least one power outage last year and the wildfires in California are largely attributed to grid performance" 09:09 "Data centers can pay for their own power, leaving behind the boring American business already running on the fragile grid" 11:11 "First reactor goes to Buckley Space Force Base because electrons are to Space Force what jet fuel is to the Air Force" 12:35 "Peak power charges hit 25 to 55 cents per kilowatt hour in a quarter of the US and it's still getting worse" 13:33 "Winning nuclear looks like shipping the 100th reactor to a US military base and having it be as second-rate news as a SpaceX launch" 17:15 "America woke up to the fact it was buying uranium enrichment from Russia and China and threw $900 million at domestic HALEU supply" 20:29 "The full-power test at Idaho National Lab runs five phases from component testing to a 150-hour endurance test with no operator in the loop" 24:33 "Oil and gas gave America abundance and now nuclear microreactors are the next atoms for prosperity everywhere on Earth and among the stars"
