Description of venture idea
Commercializes advanced materials that can withstand strong neutron radiation. These materials will have been developed and tested using a Cyclotron proton source at MIT or elsewhere.
Market needs this venture would address
- Radiation-resistant materials for fusion (e.g. Plasma-facing materials that can withstand fusion conditions, Blanket materials that can withstand fusion temperatures without corroding or soaking up tritium, Neutron shield materials for fusion)
- Radiation-resistant materials for nuclear fission
- Radiation-resistant materials for space applications
Technical capabilities this venture might leverage
Business model
- Sell raw materials (e.g. ingots) of advanced materials?
- Produce and sell fully manufactured parts?
- License to established materials companies
