What it does

Transatomic is a nuclear-energy startup focused on building molten salt reactors.

We are developing an advanced molten salt reactor that generates clean, safe, proliferation-resistant, low-cost nuclear power.

Our pioneering energy technology generates clean, safe and affordable nuclear power. We at Transatomic Power are nuclear engineers with a new approach for electricity generation. We started this company because we believe it is possible to power the world while helping it thrive. We’ve gone back to the beginning of the nuclear industry to explore another path. The nuclear industry of the 1950s was defined by an inexhaustible optimism and rigorous scientific thinking. Anything was possible, and nuclear energy promised to power the world.

    Hi HN, I'm a nuclear engineer and tech entrepreneur. After working for 3 years in the National Atomic Energy Commision (CNEA) in HPC software for nuclear simulations, I co-founded ratherlabs.com, a software company providing blockchain solutions for startups. Rather Labs business reached ~6 million usd in annual revenue in 2024; now demand is decreasing as our niche clients are using AI to launch their MVPs. Now I'm joining my scientific background with my entrepreneurial inclinations to think of problems related to the energy industry. Nuclear is experiencing a renaissance now (it was in a…
