Marathon Fusion

Marathon Fusion describes itself as producing isotopes for the new golden age of nuclear technology. Its stated technology areas include lithium enrichment, a fusion fuel cycle featuring what it calls the world's first isotopically selective tritium pumping system, radioisotopes for next-generation therapeutics, and scalable gold production through precious metal co-production at fusion power plants. The company was co-founded in 2023 by Adam Rutkowski, previously a Propulsion Engineer at SpaceX and a PhD candidate in Plasma Physics at Princeton University, and Kyle Schiller, previously a Science Policy Fellow at Schmidt Futures. Marathon states it is supported by $18m in funding across the US Department of Energy, Breakthrough Energy's fellows program, and leading private investors. Kyle Schiller serves as CEO and Adam Rutkowski as CTO.

Industrial-scale isotope production for critical industries, framed around an 'Isotopes for the New Golden Age of Nuclear Technology' theme.

• Lithium Enrichment

  Technology to produce enriched lithium domestically at throughputs and costs for commercial nuclear demand.

• Fusion Fuel Cycle

  Described as the world's first isotopically selective tritium pumping system to enable commercial fusion power that is economic, reliable, and easy to license.

• Radioisotopes

  Delivering isotopes to power next-generation therapeutics.

• Scalable Gold Production

  Precious metal co-production generating additional revenue for each fusion power plant.
