SHINE Technologies has partnered with Zeno Power, a developer of commercial Radioisotope Power Systems (RPSs), the company recently announced.

According to a release, SHINE plans to provide Zeno with Strontium-90 (Sr-90) to power RPSs for national security, scientific exploration and commercial applications in frontier environments.

“Our partnership with Zeno Power marks a key milestone in our mission to develop more sustainable power sources,” SHINE Technologies Chief Technology Officer Ross Radel said in a statement. “Spent nuclear fuel recycling is an environmentally sustainable approach that provides critical isotopes domestically. These isotopes can transition used nuclear fuel into a clean energy source for the future. We’re proud to pioneer this approach that will help advance scientific missions and mitigate hurdles to the broader long-term adoption of nuclear energy.”

RPSs are compact devices that convert heat from the decay of radioisotopes into a persistent and reliable supply of clean energy.

Zeno Power has offices in Washington, D.C. and Seattle.
