Nuclear Startups Raise Billions, Bubble Fears Grow
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Nuclear energy startups are booming, with Radiant Nuclear raising over three hundred million dollars. This surge in investment, along with recent raises by Last Energy, X-energy, and Aalo Atomics, has sparked concerns about a potential bubble. The demand for nuclear power is driven by the growing needs of the data center industry, particularly for AI-powered tech companies seeking reliable power sources. While the future of these startups hinges on their ability to deliver on ambitious promises, Radiant Nuclear stands out with its microreactor design, aiming to replace diesel generators at commercial and military sites. The company has already secured a deal with Equinix and plans to begin testing a demonstration reactor by summer 2026.
