About this award
Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation - Technologies (USNC-Space), a small business specializing in advanced nuclear technologies for space applications, was awarded a $46,074.40 grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on March 1, 2024, for research into radioisotope-enabled X-ray-based in-flight space radiology. The contract, designated 23-23OMNI_2-0145, carries no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by December 17, 2024. Work will be performed in Seattle, Washington. This grant funds research and development efforts aligned with NASA's objectives to advance innovative nuclear technologies that enhance space exploration capabilities.
The award builds upon USNC-Space's established portfolio of federally-funded research in radioisotope-based systems and space nuclear technologies. The company, a subsidiary of Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp, has previously secured multiple grants and contracts from NASA and the Department of Defense for related projects, including prior work on radioisotope power systems, thermal propulsion concepts, and specialized materials development. The relatively modest scope and duration of this award reflect NASA's incremental approach to funding exploratory research in emerging technologies that support broader institutional goals for deep space exploration and human spaceflight operations.
