What Deep Atomic AG does

Deep Atomic AG is a Swiss-headquartered energy infrastructure company, founded in 2024, that specializes in standardizing the balance-of-plant (BoP) integration between Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and AI data centers. The company's core technology is a reactor-agnostic interface architecture that connects any SMR vendor to data center infrastructure through pre-engineered thermal extraction and power distribution modules, including five proven thermodynamic configurations (Rankine, Steam Vapour Compression, Electric Vapour Compression, Steam Jet, and Steam Absorption cooling). A proprietary MK60 Small Modular Reactor extends the company's reach into direct reactor design, while a Unified Control Platform orchestrates reactor output, BoP conversion, power distribution, and cooling delivery as a single coordinated system with dynamic thermal load balancing.

The company targets AI campus developers, hyperscale AI operators, and government/national laboratory customers, offering a phased project development model scaling from 100MW (Phase I, 2026-2028) to 1.2GW (Phase III, 2032-2034). Revenue is generated through four streams: BoP integration services (feasibility assessments, regulatory mapping, thermodynamic modeling), licensed BoP technology modules, a subscription-based unified control software platform, and consortium-led nuclear campus development. Go-to-market is long-cycle enterprise sales with direct engagement, government tender participation, and strategic EPC partnerships — notably a flagship partnership with Clayco, an ENR top-4 design-build firm, for DOE proposal submissions targeting a nuclear-powered AI data center campus at Idaho National Laboratory.

The company operates with 51-100 employees across offices in Baar (Switzerland), Washington DC, and London. Target performance metrics include PUE ≤ 1.10 versus an industry average of 1.35, 99.999% uptime, and 8-11% energy savings through thermal utilization. The company is pre-revenue, with its first funding round recorded in August 2024. Leadership comprises co-founders William Theron (CEO) and Rea Stark (CDO).

Core offering

Deep Atomic AG sells a standardized Balance-of-Plant (BoP) integration platform that connects Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to AI data centers, anchored on a reactor-agnostic interface, pre-engineered thermodynamic BoP modules (Rankine, steam vapor compression, electric vapor compression, steam jet, and steam absorption cooling), a Unified Control Platform for dynamic load balancing, and the proprietary MK60 SMR. The company provides feasibility assessment, regulatory mapping, and end-to-end nuclear campus development services for hyperscale AI and government infrastructure projects, including a proposed flagship campus at Idaho National Laboratory.

Product overview

Deep Atomic AG offers a standardized balance-of-plant (BoP) integration platform for connecting Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to AI data centers. The core offering consists of the Reactor-Agnostic Interface, which provides standardized BoP architecture enabling any SMR vendor to connect to data centers through engineered thermal extraction paths. Supporting this are five Pre-Engineered BoP Modules offering thermodynamic configurations (Rankine, Steam Vapour Compression, Electric Vapour Compression, Steam Jet, and Steam Absorption cooling), plus the Unified Control Platform delivering integrated power and cooling orchestration. The company's MK60 Small Modular Reactor provides dedicated nuclear baseload, while feasibility assessment services enable site evaluation. The platform achieves target PUE of ≤1.10 through integrated waste heat utilization and dynamic thermal load balancing, eliminating electric chiller loads in favor of direct thermal-to-cooling conversion.
