Apollo Atomics 完成 2600 万美元种子轮融资,其中包括 500 万美元债务融资。公司表示,这笔资金将用于推进示范反应堆建设,并为 2028 年的商业化部署做准备。

缩小蒸汽发生器

Apollo 的核心思路不是重新设计反应堆本体,而是改造热能转电能的关键环节。公司称,其蒸汽发生器可以批量制造,体积接近一个人的大小,远小于传统设备。

创始人兼首席执行官 Assil Halimi 表示,这种设计可让整套系统更紧凑。Apollo 认为,现有核电设备在这一环节上仍有较大压缩空间。

工厂预制反应堆

Apollo 计划把反应堆和蒸汽发生器放到工厂组装,而不是像传统核电站那样在现场施工。公司预计,这种方式可以减少人工成本,并缩短建设周期。

Halimi 预计,Apollo 有望在不到 24 个月内建成一座 300 兆瓦电站。公司还称,反应堆制造成本可能比现有设计低四到五倍。

MIT 研究背景

Apollo 的设计基于麻省理工学院的研究。公司此前已在 MIT 建成一座 40 千瓦的小型反应堆,用于验证技术可行性。

Apollo 计划推出三种规格,发电能力从 10 兆瓦到 300 兆瓦不等。此次融资由 FCVC 领投,Y Combinator、Robinhood Ventures、Pelion VC 等机构参与。

CFTC Seeking opinions on computing power derivatives: GPU Time is shifting from a cost center to a tradable risk
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced on August 19 that it is seeking public comments on the listing of "computing power derivative contracts" on trading platforms. The document focuses on issues such as the scale and liquidity of the computing power spot market, market supervision and manipulation risks, customer protection, and perpetual computing power futures. The comment period will last for 60 days after the relevant documents are published in the Federal Register. This is not an approval of a specific contract, nor are it completed regulatory rules; rather, it is a data collection process initiated by the regulatory agency to understand the new market structure.
