The convergence of commercial demand, national security imperatives, and technological readiness presents a chance to reimagine America’s nuclear fuel cycle.

Zeno Power, a nuclear battery startup, has raised $50 million in a Series B funding round to bring its nuclear battery to market.

Zeno Power secured $50 million in its latest funding round. The nuclear-battery maker now plans to roughly double its workforce and do full-scale system demonstrations next year.

It’s a matter of when commercial missions will begin to use nuclear power on the Moon, not if, according to Zeno Power CEO Tyler Bernstein.
