Here is a recap of recent industry happenings:
Hadron Energy advances its Halo reactor plans
Hadron Energy has completed its previously announced business combination with GigCapital7 Corp. The corporate combination resulted in Hadron, which is developing a microreactor called Halo, receiving a total cash value of approximately $31 million from the GigCapital7 trust account and other financing, as well as public market access to support the company’s plans to see the Halo MMR through design, regulation, and customer-deployment.
Hadron has also signed a uranium conversion services agreement with ConverDyn, the Solstice Advanced Materials–General Atomics joint venture behind Solstice’s uranium hexafluoride conversion facility in Metropolis, Ill.

Muons, Inc. was formed two decades ago by scientists from national labs to develop a muon collider, the next "atom smasher" to follow the Large Hadron Collider, Since then, Muons has supported 18 postdocs and 7 Ph.D. candidates under DOE contracts and SBIR-STTR grants to develop new technologies and applications for particle accelerators. We are enthusiastic proponents of superconducting rf proton accelerators to drive subcritical molten-salt reactors to deal with the spent fuel from nuclear reactors using a concept called Mu*STAR. We have applied for the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program ARC-20 to develop a Mu*STAR Conceptual Design Report over the next three years and are looking for people to join us in this adventure.
