Company Profile

Atomic Alchemy is a radioisotope production company and Oklo subsidiary competing in the DOE Reactor Pilot Program. The company is developing reactor infrastructure specifically optimized for producing medical and industrial radioisotopes — materials used in cancer treatment, sterilization, and industrial imaging that are currently in chronic short supply globally. Atomic Alchemy leverages Oklo's Aurora reactor design and fuel supply chain from Idaho National Laboratory, where Oklo has an established site relationship. The company is building toward a future where nuclear reactors co-generate electricity and life-saving isotopes from the same core. Atomic Alchemy's isotope production facility is based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Reactor Specs

REACTOR DESIGN

Radioisotope Production Reactor · Sodium Fast Microreactor

Uses liquid metal as coolant instead of water. Operates at higher temperature for greater thermal efficiency.

POWER OUTPUT

15 MWe

Powers ~12,195 average US homes. A standard large nuclear plant produces ~1,000 MWe.

COOLANT

Liquid Metal

High thermal efficiency. Metal coolants can breed new fissile material from fertile fuel, potentially extending fuel supply indefinitely.

FUEL TYPE

HALEU Metallic

High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium metal. Enables compact cores but requires new US domestic enrichment capacity — a current supply chain constraint.

TARGET OPERATION

2026

US nuclear projects historically require 7–10 years from construction permit to first power. The 2026 target assumes factory-built modular components and no major regulatory delays.

SITE LOCATION

Oak Ridge, TN

Oak Ridge, Tennessee — home of the DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Deep US nuclear R&D heritage since the Manhattan Project.
