NSE alum Jake DeWitte’s YC-Backed UPower Is Building Nuclear Batteries
Despite the promise of bountiful, cheap, and clean energy nuclear energy didn’t overtake fossil fuels like everyone expected them to in the middle of the 20th century. Among other things, fear of radiation leaks and waste products that have to be buried for hundreds of years turned the United States away from adopting it for more than a fraction of our energy usage.
Y Combinator batch company UPower Technologies is hoping to change that by offering reactors that cut out those factors at a scale where regulatory issues and billion-dollar construction costs aren’t a problem.
UPower founder and CEO Jacob DeWitte describes the company’s first reactor design as a plug-and-play nuclear thermal battery.
NSE alum Ray Rothrock to be Honored at TheatreWorks Gala

Excitement returns with each visit to MIT says NSE alum Robert Marlay PhD’83
“After the SM’71 in Course 1 and the MCP’71 (Course 11), I did active duty with the Navy’s Civil Engineer Corps, first in California, and then in Washington, DC. After active duty, it was a time of energy crises and the government was hiring. I ended up working for a new agency that later became the U.S. Department of Energy. At DOE, there has never been a shortage of challenges. I have been lucky to have been part of efforts to address many of them. Along the way, I took a leave of absence and picked up the Ph.D.’83 (Course 22). Today, among other duties, I am the Director of the US-China Clean Energy Research Center, which is a bilateral initiative to accelerate clean energy technology development and deployment in both countries. In a parallel career, I remained active in the Navy Reserve with the Seabees (Navy mobile construction battalions), found my way to the Middle East during the Persian Gulf War, and retired as a 2-star, last serving as the Deputy Commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Command. I guess my career has been as varied as my MIT degrees, but the education I got there has been a constant and valued foundation, often applied in ways totally unanticipated. Each time I set foot on the campus, the excitement returns.”
NSE alum invents device to tap wine bottles without pulling the cork
NSE alum Greg Lambrecht’s (SB ’90) wine cellar contains about 1,500 bottles.
“I don’t know how many of them are still full,” he said, chuckling. It is hard to tell because Lambrecht drinks from the bottles without removing the corks. That way, he can enjoy just one glass at a time from a costly bottle, and then wait as long as he wants before tasting it again.
It is a neat trick, and Lambrecht, an MIT-trained nuclear engineer and founder of Intrinsic Orthopedics Inc., a Woburn medical device company, has spent the past decade mastering it. Now he is going to share his innovation with other affluent wine buffs, at $300 a pop.

NSE Alum John Everett Creighton's JobPoacher.com is a site where getting poached is the whole point
Time and time again, the old adage that it's easier to find a job when you already have one rings true. One young Austin, Texas-based entrepreneur decided to capitalize on that notion and created a Web site with a perfectly descriptive name: JobPoacher.com.
When building the site in his spare time, John Everett Creighton (SM '05) said he drew on his own experience. As an MIT graduate with a degree in physics and nuclear engineering, he was in hot demand when entering the job market and had to juggle multiple offers and rounds of negotiations. Creighton sought to simplify that process by putting the skilled worker in the driver's seat: "I thought, what if it's the other way around. These companies need good engineers more than the engineers need them.". more
