Beginning today, we are industrializing nuclear battery production at the historic Vallecitos Nuclear Center. With this facility, we will deliver our first nuclear battery to customers in 2027 and scale production in 2028 - powering critical missions from the seabed to the lunar surface.

That sounds fantastic, but aren't you worried about physically locating your business in California. It's not a good bet for the future.

@elonmusk we're building nuclear batteries 15 mins from the @Tesla Fremont Factory if you want to come visit

@elonmusk @Tesla Do you make them in motorcycle battery size?

Queste batterie sono generatori termoelettrici a radioisotopi (RTG). Decadimento radioattivo → calore → elettricità tramite un processo termoelettrico o un motore Stirling. La NASA li utilizza dagli anni '60 (Voyager, Curiosity, Cassini). Zeno sta portando questa tecnologia sul mercato commerciale per la prima volta: infrastrutture sottomarine, operazioni nell'Artico, missioni lunari. Le fonti di combustibile (Sr-90 proveniente da vecchi RTG del Dipartimento dell'Energia, Am-241 da combustibile nucleare esaurito) sono davvero ingegnose, trasformare i rifiuti in energia. Non si tratta della stessa fisica di una centrale nucleare, ma dello stesso principio che rende il nucleare unico: densità energetica e longevità ineguagliabili dalla chimica. Una batteria che funziona per decenni senza bisogno di ricarica.

The Department of Energy has formally approved our Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA) for the Mark-0 reactor—our first demonstration reactor, scheduled to go live before July 4, 2026. Mark-0 will validate fueling operations, reactor controls, and core physics. This demonstration is a critical step toward generating electricity from advanced microreactors. Mark-0 uses a full-scale core and the same facility and fuel that will support our next reactor test in 2027. The PDSA defines the preliminary safety basis for the reactor, facility, and planned operations, demonstrating that our approach meets DOE expectations at this stage. This approval validates our safety case and establishes a clear pathway to final acceptance as we prepare for fabrication, assembly, and installation. Mark-0 will be tested at Idaho National Laboratory in Building 793—now the Reactors and Critical Experiments facility—a site with deep nuclear history. Decades ago, this building housed ML-1, the Army’s first mobile nuclear reactor. Today, it supports the next generation of deployable nuclear power. We find the historical relevance fitting and inspiring, as Antares develops a similar-scale microreactor to meet Army operational and installation needs. Since 2024, we’ve worked to establish this facility as an enduring testbed, enabling rapid progress without the need for groundbreaking construction. We’re grateful for our partners at DOE and INL, and for leaders like Congressman Mike Simpson who continue to support the American nuclear renaissance.
