Summary
Antares has achieved initial criticality of its Mark-0 microreactor at Idaho National Laboratory under the DOE Reactor Pilot Program, becoming the first private company to bring an advanced reactor to criticality under this program. The milestone was reached in partnership with DOE, INL, BWX Technologies, and with support from the U.S. Army. The factory-produced, deployable fission microreactors are designed to provide strategic energy for mission-critical systems across Earth, space, and undersea applications.
