Project Omega Receives $12 Million to Develop Nuclear Isotope Batteries with DOE Partnership
Project Omega has secured $12 million in seed funding and a partnership with the Department of Energy to develop batteries that utilize nuclear isotopes to generate electricity. The technology, being tested with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, promises longer lifespans but lower power compared to lithium-ion batteries.

Project Omega aims to create batteries that convert radiation from nuclear isotopes into electricity through semiconductors, supported by a $12 million seed funding round and a collaboration with the Department of Energy. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is involved in testing this technology. The batteries are expected to have longer lifespans but offer lower power output than conventional lithium-ion batteries, potentially shifting the perspective on spent nuclear fuel from waste to a valuable resource.
