Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Samuel Gibson of Hadron Energy

Close Up Radio

Samuel Gibson is the founder and CEO of Hadron Energy, a nuclear engineering company. Currently, his company is building the patent pending Micro-Modular Reactor.

The Micro-Modular Reactor (MMR) is a two-megawatt microreactor that utilizes nuclear fission to generate electricity. Using low-enriched uranium as its fuel source, the power for each MMR is designed to last ten years, before it needs to be replaced.

“Overall, MMR technology is compact, mobile, safe, and secure,” notes Samuel. “One MMR unit can power two thousand homes and multiple units can be stacked up to meet larger demand.”

“The majority of Americans now support nuclear energy as a viable source for the future,” he observes.

Sam identifies four different segments of customers that Hadron Energy seeks to reach. They include remote communities, data centers, government installations, and the industrial market.

“Ever since I could remember, I was always interested in engineering,” recalls Samuel.

Presently at age twenty-three, Samuel has the distinct honor of being the youngest professional ever featured on Close Up Radio.

By 2026, Samuel plans to have the first MMR available for end use. Along the way, as there is a significant demand for this technology, he seeks to expand through customers, partnerships, and investment. Currently, he has twelve team members on staff and looks to hire more.

“Our ultimate plan for the future is that it becomes a global operation,” he explains. “There is a need for this around the world. Our company will play a major part in this.” For more information, please visit https://www.hadronenergy.com/
