Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Atomic Show #346 – Greg Piefer, CEO and Founder, Shine Technologies
Q: How does Shine view the role of tritium breeding and fuel cycle in early fusion deployment?
Tritium breeding is essential for a cost-competitive fusion economy. Shine believes initial plants will be DT and will breed tritium from lithium until large-scale baseload fusion can operate with a self-sustaining tritium supply.
Atomic Show #346 – Greg Piefer, CEO and Founder, Shine Technologies
Q: What does TAM stand for and why did Shine focus on markets other than the largest TAM?
TAM stands for total addressable market. Shine chose to focus on markets with the best unit economics and faster path to commercialization to prove the technology in real markets before chasing the enormous but harder-to-align energy TAM.
Atomic Show #345 – Bobby Gallagher, CEO Deployable Energy
Q: What does the control system look like—remote operation or on-site operators?
The reactor is designed with flexible control options: it can be monitored on site with local control, or remotely controlled depending on the customer's cyber posture and regulatory approvals; it supports centralized fleet control if multiple units are deployed.
Atomic Show #345 – Bobby Gallagher, CEO Deployable Energy
Q: Tell us a little bit about Deployable Energy and what made you decide to become a nuclear entrepreneur?
Deployable Energy is a Houston-based microreactor company developing the Unity Nuclear Battery, a one-megawatt modular reactor designed for rapid, mass manufacturing and on-site deployment to power industrial and remote sites; the founder's background in heavy industry and offshore energy sparked the move into nuclear as a practical solution to energy constraints.
Atomic Show #344 – Jarret Adams, Founder Full On Communications
Q: Jarret, can you explain why press releases are not only important but valuable to both the company that issues them and those who are outside the company trying to track what they're doing?
Press releases are a durable tool for broad and direct communication; they help investors, partners, customers, and the public understand progress, milestones, and plans, which builds trust and keeps stakeholders engaged even between major milestones.
