Summary
Apollo Atomics builds compact pressurized water reactors for data centers, industrial facilities, and utilities that need power within 2-5 years. Co-founded by Assil, who holds a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from MIT and worked as a reactor operator and designer at major nuclear operators, and Drew, a repeat founder who previously co-founded an electric boat startup. They use the same proven technology that runs 80% of existing nuclear plants but redesigned the steam generator to be 20x smaller, making their reactors 40x more compact, factory-built, and deployable in under 24 months instead of a decade.
