In the advanced nuclear space, talent is the ultimate litmus test. We are proud to introduce our Chief Technology Officer, David Holcomb, PhD.

For decades, the industry has debated the ideal path forward for Molten Salt Reactors. When we asked Dr. Holcomb why he chose to join Fissionaire, his answer was simple: “I do these things to help humanity. We need to realize the full potential of the thermal spectrum molten salt breeder reactor.”

Many modern reactor designs have been forced to make compromises on systems to chase short-term timelines. Fissionaire is taking a different approach. We are committed to this technology in its fullest potential.

As Dr. Holcomb puts it: "We aren't reinventing physics. We are finishing the work the Weinberg team started." Fissionaire’s team of world-class engineers, leaders, and innovators is building a reactor for the next century.

Welcome to the team, David Holcomb.
